ISSN 0001-5555 Drug-induced hypersensitivity syndrome (DIHS), also known as drug rash with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS), is a severe, adverse drug reaction characterized by skin rash, fever, lymphadenopathy, hepatitis and haematological abnormalities (1, 2). The presence of human herpes virus (HHV)-6 reactivation is considered to be a diagnostic criterion for DIHS but not for DRESS. The most common causative drugs are carbamazepine, phenytoin, phenobarbital, mexiletine, dapsone, salazosulphapyridine, minocycline and allopurinol (3). We report here a case of DIHS/DRESS caused by clindamycin, which was confirmed using the lymphocyte transformation test (LTT) and patch testing.
