Article Abstract
During 2016-2018, we collected 3,193 ticks from rural areas in South Korea to investigate the prevalence of severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome virus (SFTSV). We detected SFTSV in ticks at an infection rate (IR) of 11.1%. We noted increases in the human IR associated with the monthly SFTSV IR in ticks.

Acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis (AGEP) is a rare, potentially severe cutaneous adverse reaction characterized by the rapid onset of numerous small, sterile pustules on edematous erythema, commonly accompanied by systemic symptoms such as high-grade fever and neutrophilic leukocytosis. AGEP is most frequently triggered by medications, especially antibiotics, though infections and other exposures can also be causative. We report the case of a previously healthy 27-year-old male patient who developed a febrile pustular eruption with systemic involvement.
