Acute generalized exanthematic pustulosis (PEGA) is a rare dermatological pathology characterized by the sudden and generalized appearance of multiple, sterile, non-follicular, punctate pustules on an erythematous and edematous base. It is frequently triggered by drugs, among which antibiotics stand out. We present the case of a 40-year-old male patient who was admitted to the emergency room due to abdominal pain síndrome, to rule out intra-abdominal tumor pathology, initially indicating ceftriaxone and metronidazole. The next day, he was re-admitted to the emergency room, finding, after emergency surgery, acute appendicitis complicated with intestinal perforation, for which they rotated the antibiotic therapy to imipenem-cilastatin + metronidazole. At the next 48 hours, he presents generalized erythema and some small pustules and microvesicles in the thoracic region, upper extremities ...

Este estudio tuvo como objetivo principal determinar la relación entre los estilos de vida, el índice glucosa-triglicéridos (IGT), el índice de masa corporal (IMC) y el riesgo cardiovascular (RCV) en adultos atendidos en un centro de salud. Se llevó a cabo un estudio cuantitativo, no experimental y transversal, utilizando una muestra de adultos de ambos sexos. Las variables incluidas fueron el estilo de vida, evaluado mediante el cuestionario FANTASTIC, el IGT, calculado a partir de glucosa y triglicéridos séricos, el IMC y el RCV. Los resultados mostraron una relación inversa significativa entre los estilos de vida saludables y el IGT (Rho = -0.481, p < 0.001), así como con el RCV (Rho = -0.650, p < 0.001). Además, se observó una correlación positiva entre el IGT y el RCV (Rho = 0.629, p < 0.001), lo que confirma que un mayor IGT está asociado con un mayor riesgo cardiovasc...
