Abstract
- Rasagiline alone or in combination with other medications is used to treat the symptoms of Parkinson's disease. Drug rash with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS) syndrome is a severe idiosyncratic drug reaction with a long latency period. A 75-year-old woman with Parkinson's disease developed DRESS syndrome after 15-day rasagiline therapy. To our knowledge, this is the first clinical case report that describes rasagiline induced DRESS syndrome.
