Abstract
- Drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptom (DRESS) is a life-threatening drug hypersensitivity reaction that is characterized by skin rash, hematological abnormalities (eosinophilia, atypical lymphocytosis), lymphadenopathy, and internal organ involvement (liver, kidneys, and lung). Many drugs may cause DRESS syndrome, the most frequently reported of which are antiepileptics and allopurinol. In this case report, a patient who developed DRESS syndrome due to everolimus was presented herein.
