Article Synopsis
- DRESS (Drug Reaction with Eosinophilia and Systemic Symptoms) is a severe and rare hypersensitivity reaction, linked to a significant mortality risk, that can be difficult to recognize due to its delayed and varied symptoms.
- The condition typically involves skin, blood, and multiple organ systems, with symptoms appearing 2 to 8 weeks after drug exposure, complicating the identification of the trigger, especially in cases with multiple medications like antibiotics.
- Treatment primarily involves the immediate cessation of the offending drug and the use of systemic corticosteroids, as delaying these actions can worsen outcomes; ongoing monitoring is essential due to potential relapses or autoimmune complications that may occur years later.
