The United States Food and Drug Administration (US FDA) released a warning regarding Drug Reactions with Eosinophilia and Systemic Symptoms (DRESS) linked to the use of antiseizure drugs, including levetiracetam and clobazam, on November 28, 2023. Hence, our review focuses on DRESS associated with the use of antiseizure drugs, including Levetiracetam, Clobazam, Carbamazepine, Phenytoin, Phenobarbital, Valproate, Oxcarbazepine, and Lamotrigine. The online databases, such as Medline/Pubmed/PMC, Scopus, Web of Science, Google Scholar, Science Direct, Ebsco, Embase, and reference lists, were searched for relevant publications.

Stevens-Johnson syndrome and toxic epidermal necrolysis (SJS/TEN) is an immune complex-mediated hypersensitivity reaction linked as an adverse side effect to many drugs. There have been case reports of similar incidences in Nepal related to various medications. Here, we present a case of a 29-year-old lady who developed a generalized erythematous rash over her body and erosion of the oral mucous membrane.

Sulfonamides are associated with severe cutaneous adverse reactions (SCARs). Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) triggers an immune response, which may increase the likelihood of developing a hypersensitivity reaction. We sought to explore the impact of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection on the probability of developing SCARs and/or erythema multiforme (EM) reactions to sulfonamides.

Drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS) is a severe adverse drug reaction with significant variation between patients concerning presenting symptoms and disease severity. Under the hypothesis that the clinical presentation of DRESS is drug specific, we performed a scoping review and identified 644 cases of paediatric DRESS. A single implicated drug was present in 262 cases, and drugs with 10 or more cases were included in this analysis (n = 224): carbamazepine (n = 86), dapsone (n = 16), lamotrigine (n = 25), phenobarbital (n = 38), phenytoin (n = 45) and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (n = 14).
