We read with great interest the recent report regarding IL36RN mutations in acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis (AGEP) by Navarini et al.(2013). They analyzed IL36RN mutations in 96 cases with AGEP and found only one homozygous mutation (p. Leu27Pro) and three heterozygous mutations. p. Leu27Pro is a founder mutation causing generalized pustular psoriasis (GPP) homozygously in African populations, and the AGEP patient described by Navarini et al.(2013) with the homozygous mutation p. Leu27Pro is an African woman (Marrakchi et al., 2011; Navarini et al., 2013). She had a previous history of drug-induced type-unknown skin reaction triggered by uncertain antibiotics. She showed pustules covering 85% of her body surface, including the mouth, and a 39.41 C fever triggered by amoxicillin.A positive patch test to amoxicillin was noted. Treatment of the patient was not described. No recurrence was observed during the 18-month follow-up. In a recent report, we analyzed 11 patients with GPP not accompanied by psoriasis vulgaris (PV)(GPP-alone; Sugiura et al., 2013). Among the 11 GPP-alone patients, there was a monozygotic twin with the compound heterozygous mutations p. Arg10X and p. Arg10ArgfsX1 in IL36RN whose pustules and high fever had primarily been triggered by amoxicillin. The patients were 6-year-old Japanese male identical twins. At the age of 2 years, they had erythema with pustules on the whole body and fever over 381C after amoxicillin intake. In one of the twins, blood examination revealed a white blood cell count of 24,300 μlÀ 1 and a C-reactive protein concentration of 1.17 mgdlÀ 1. Bacterial culture for
