Acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis induced by duloxetine
View through CrossRef
AbstractDuloxetine is a serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor. Some rare duloxetine‐induced hypersensitivity skin reactions have been reported. We report a case of acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis potentially induced by duloxetine. Skin pustules appeared 8 days after the introduction of duloxetine. Treatment with topical clobetasol propionate led to gradual remission of the lesions. As there are no cases of duloxetine‐induced acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis(AGEP) in the literature, we did a research in the World Health Organization (WHO) pharmacovigilance database (21 March 2022) and found three cases of duloxetine‐induced AGEP. The French causality assessment score for our case of duloxetine‐induced AGEP was 15 (C2S3). The Naranjo score was 7, indicating a possible correlation between AGEP and the use of duloxetine. This was consistent with the WHO causality score. We inform clinicians of the possibility of AGEP following therapy with duloxetine.
