A 28-year-old woman presented with two days of painful pustules on her chest and back. She also had fever and chills but denied cough or dyspnea. On examination, the temperature was 38.6°C, blood pressure was 93/51 mm Hg, and pulse was 130 beats per minute. Examination of her back (Fig. 1) and ear (Fig. 2) revealed erythematous plaques mixed with scattered pustules. IV fluid and vancomycin were given for possible septic shock. Punch biopsy of the skin was compatible with a clinical diagnosis of generalized pustular psoriasis (GPP).
