January 2022
Article Synopsis
- - DRESS syndrome is a rare but serious drug reaction in children, marked by symptoms like fever and rash, making it hard to diagnose due to similarities with other pediatric conditions.
- - A study of 49 pediatric DRESS cases from French hospitals revealed that liver damage was common, and antibiotic medications were the primary culprits, with symptoms usually appearing within 15 days of starting treatment.
- - Treatment options varied, but systemic corticosteroids were frequently used for severe cases, while topical corticosteroids were effective for milder instances.
