Abstract

Rash associated with drugs with eosinophilia and cutaneous symptoms known as DRESS syndrome, called by its English initials, is a serious toxicoderma of unknown etiology characterized by fever, exanthema, lymphadenopathy, hematological alterations, visceral and systemic involvement. Given its severity and possible confusion with other cutaneous drug reactions, it is important to establish the causal relationships and detect the possible drugs involved, in addition to the differential diagnosis due to its dermal involvement and the updated treatment for such a complication.

The objective of this article is to describe a case of DRESS Syndrome associated with the administration of anticonvulsant therapy that was initially related to a hypersensitivity reaction; The reported case is of a 36-year-old patient, attended in consultation with previous treatment for Epilepsy, who was admitted due to a systemic reaction: dermal, hepatic and hematological compromise, this pathology was treated with corticosteroid-based therapy, achieving the resolution of the pathology.
