Acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis (AGEP) has been reported in COVID-19 patients, mostly associated with hydroxychloroquine (HCQ). There are few AGEP cases in COVID-19 patients reported due to β-lactam antibiotics 2,3 in the literature. Herein, we report the first case of favipiravir-induced AGEP with histologic findings.
