Clindamycin-induced acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis.

Acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis is a rare but distinctive entity that may be associated with various etiologies. Drug exposure is the most common cause. We present the first report of acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis induced by the drug clindamycin.

Purpuric agave dermatitis.

Agave americana is a low growing, thick, long-leaved, subtropical plant used for medicinal, commercial, and ornamental purposes. The plant's sap contains calcium oxalate crystals, acrid oils, saponins, and other compounds. Despite these known irritants, Agave-induced irritant dermatitis has rarely been reported. Previous case reports have noted a papulovesicular eruption consistent with an irritant contact dermatitis. We report a case of Agave-induced purpura in an otherwise healthy patient. Histopathology was consistent with an evolving leukocytoclastic vasculitis.

Churg-Strauss syndrome.

A 62-year-old woman who had a history of asthma and allergic rhinitis developed bilateral pulmonary infiltrates and marked eosinophilia. A transbronchial biopsy specimen did not help clarify the diagnosis. She later developed erythematous nodules on her feet; results of a biopsy specimen revealed necrotizing extravascular granulomas and marked infiltration of the dermis with eosinophils consistent with a diagnosis of Churg-Strauss syndrome. Skin manifestations are often nonspecific in this syndrome and occur in approximately two thirds of cases.
