We report a 59-year-old female diabetic and hypertensive who developed AGEP, 24 hours after commencing antibiotics for urinary tract infection. The associated drugs were Meropenem, Piperacillin and Tazobactam with a possible combined effect of these three drugs that resulted in systemic involvement requiring intensive monitoring and prompt treatment. The objective of reporting this case is to focus on the his Conclusion tory that AGEP following injection meropenem and Piptaz led to systemic complications and dermatologists must be aware of such rare adverse effect. Accurate diagnosis and prompt treatment in adjunct with can reduce the mortality as in our case.
