DRESS syndrome is a severe drug induced reaction. Acute kidney injury (AKI) is sometimes present in the form of an acute interstitial nephritis. We present the case of a 75-year-old man with glioblastoma who developed a DRESS two months after starting levetiracetam and a few days after stopping dexamethasone. His skin and kidneys improved after removing levetiracetam and introducing again corti...

Various skin and systemic symptoms may develop as a complication of treatment with different medications and medicinal substances. One of them is a relatively rare drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms, referred to as DRESS syndrome. The morphology of skin lesions and the patient's general health can differ; the management involves withdrawal of drugs suspected of triggering DRE...

Background Drug rash with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS) syndrome is an idiosyncratic hypersensitivity reaction to drugs. The diagnosis involves 3 criteria; 1) Drug induced skin eruption 2) Absolute eosinophil count (AEC) >1500/dL or atypical lymphocytosis 3) One of the following enlarged lympnodes atleast 2cm in diameter, hepatitis, interstitial nephritis, interstitial lung disease...

The efficacy of top-dress antiinflammatory drugs ultimately depends on a patient's willingness to consume treated feed. The current study compares the palatability of two phenylbutazone top-dress formulations (Equipalazone Powder, Dechra Pharmaceuticals, and Pro-Dynam, VetXX, Ltd.) and a suxibuzone top-dress formulation (Danilon Equidos, Janssen Animal Health). Results of a three-period, crosso...
