Drug rash with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS) syndrome is diagnosed by three criteria including cutaneous drug eruption, hematologic abnormalities, and systemic involvements. The hematologic abnormalities include presence of atypical lymphocytes or eosinophilia. The systemic involvements include lymphadenopathy, hepatitis, interstitial nephritis, interstitial pneumonia, or carditis....

Prolonged Evolution of Drug ReactionWith Eosinophilia and Systemic Symptoms: Clinical, Virologic, and Biological Features Drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS) is a rare and severe drug-induced reaction characterized by systemic involvement and an unusually long latency of onset after exposure to medication.

BACKGROUND The clinical features of drug-induced hypersensitivity syndrome (DIHS) or drug rash with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS) syndrome are complicated, and the incidence of this condition is very low. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the clinical course of DIHS/DRESS and identify effective treatment options. METHODS This study was a retrospective analysis of prospectively collected cl...

Drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS) is a rare yet severe adverse drug-induced reaction with up to 10% mortality rate. Recent clinical trials reported an association between DRESS and telaprevir (TVR), an NS3/4A protease inhibitor of chronic hepatitis C (CHC) virus genotype 1. Its diagnosis is challenging given the variable pattern of cutaneous eruption and the myriad i...

INTRODUCTION Recognizing the determinants of behavior plays a major role in identification and application of effective strategies for encouraging individuals to follow the intended pattern of behavior. The present study aimed to analyze the university students' behaviors regarding the amenability to dress code, using the theory of reasoned action (TRA). METHODS In this cross sectional study,...

BACKGROUND Drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS) syndrome is a rare and potentially life-threatening acute drug-induced hypersensitivity reaction. Antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) predominantly aromatic AEDs are commonly reported in DRESS. To date there are no reports of sulthiame AED causing DRESS syndrome. METHOD We report a 10-year-old girl of Indian descent with AED resi...
