description A male patient was hospitalized as a case of pneumonia. He was diabetic, hypertensive and post Hepatitis “C” “H-C”. He reported skin eruption following administration of meropenem. Skin biopsy revealed acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis. To elucidate this side effect, we conducted a literature search - this is the second case induced by meropenem.
