Results We analyzed 132 patients (85F/47M; mean age of 63.98 ±17.68 years) with maculopapular exanthema (MPE) (21.2%), DRESS (28.0%), overlap MP/DR (25.8%), Stevens-Johnson syndrome/toxic epidermal necrolysis (12.1%), acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis (8.3%), fixed drug eruption (3.78%) and urticaria/angioedema (0.76%), caused mainly by allopurinol (36.5%), antimicrobials (30.8%) and a...

Dress form is an essential tool in the clothing-making process for pattern block development, draping and quality inspection. However, it is noted that a single dress form is not applicable for a large variety body shapes. There are adjustable dress forms and custom-made dress forms to attempt to make up for the insufficiency of conventional dress forms. However, such types of dress forms are r...

Drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS) is a delayed drug reaction defined by physical signs and laboratory parameters. Mini-DRESS is a new entity, in cases that display some but not all features of DRESS. Cases of mini-DRESS have a less protracted course, and respond well to systemic corticosteroid treatment.

Background Drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS) is a severe drug-induced reaction that involves both the skin and the viscera. Several herpesvirus family members like EBV or HHV-6 can be detected coincidently with various clinical symptoms in DRESS. In addition, we have previously identified activated EBV specific cytotoxic CD8+ T cells as major actors in the pathophysi...

Results Twenty-three cases of SCAR were identified: 12 DRESS/ DIHS, 1 overlap DRESS/AGEP and 10 SJS/TEN. Sixteen patients (70%) were female, the median age was 41 years (IQR=26-50). The aromatic anticonvulsivants were implicated in the etiology in 73% of cases, followed by antibiotics (30%). All patients with DRESS/DIHS exhibited cutaneous, systemic and laboratory characteristic changes of this...

Drug rash with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS) syndrome is a type of severe adverse cutaneous drug reaction characterized by fever, skin eruption, hematological abnormalities, and internal organ involvement. Although anticonvulsant drugs are mainly implicated in DRESS, newer anticonvulsants such as oxcarbazepine-induced definite cases of DRESS syndrome are rare and oxcarbazepine-indu...

BACKGROUND Drug-induced hypersensitivity syndrome/drug rash with eosinophilia with systemic symptoms (DIHS/DRESS) is a severe drug eruption accompanied by multiorgan disorders. Several unique aspects of DIHS/DRESS, including herpesvirus reactivation, liver dysfunction and hypogammaglobulinaemia, have similarities to graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). AIM In this study, we focused on the dynami...

Drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS) syndrome is a rare and potentially fatal adverse drug reaction associated with skin rash, fever, eosinophilia, and multiple organ injury. A number of pharmacological agents are known to cause DRESS syndrome such as allopurinol, anticonvulsants, vancomycin, trimethoprime-sulfamethoxazole, and pyrimethamine-sulfadiazine. Here, we descr...
