Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) and Drug Reaction with Eosinophilia and Systemic Symptoms (DRESS) syndrome are rare conditions, representing severe hypersensitivity reactions with significant oral presentations. SJS is an uncommon but severe variant of erythema multiforme, presenting skin and mucosal eruptions that can be potentially fatal. DRESS syndrome, similarly, involves a severe hypersensitivity reaction characterized by fever, rash, and organ involvement.

Whether TSLP or IL-33 have a role in EoE and whether their activities are distinct requires further investigation.
Methods: Experimental EoE was induced in wild type (WT) and mice.

Sulfasalazine-induced hypersensitivity syndrome (SIHS) is a drug-specific variant of the syndrome known as drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS). It is a severe and unpredictable hypersensitivity reaction that can present with a spectrum of symptoms, ranging from mild rashes and unexplained fever to life-threatening systemic organ involvement. This diversity of symptoms often results in a diagnostic delay and/or misdiagnosis.
