Phenytoin-induced dress

摘要

Drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS) is a severe multiorgan system reaction caused by specific drugs, such as aromatic anticonvulsants, sulfonamides, allopurinol, and nevirapine.1'2 We describe a 14-year-old girl with a widespread erythematous pruritic maculopapular confluent eruption over the face, trunk, and upper limbs; edema of both hands and the face; fever (temperature, 39degC); and bilateral cervical, postauricular, and suboccipital lymphadenopathy.
