Article Synopsis
- Adverse Drug Reactions (ADRs) can occur even when medications are taken correctly, with DRESS syndrome being a severe type that affects multiple organ systems and requires quick diagnosis and withdrawal of the offending drug to improve outcomes.
- A case study of a 42-year-old woman highlights DRESS syndrome development after taking leflunomide, leading to serious symptoms including fever, skin rash, and liver injury, confirmed as a "definite" ADR.
- The study emphasizes that both leflunomide and cefuroxime can trigger DRESS syndrome, underscoring the need for careful monitoring of these medications and proper reporting of adverse reactions.
