Abstract
ABSTRACT
Drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS) syndrome is rare but carries significant mortality and morbidity, making early identification and definitive management crucial. The diagnosis of DRESS is made clinically and involves consideration of a broad list of differential diagnoses. Given variable clinical presentations among patients with DRESS syndrome, clinicians should look for common findings and other hallmarks of the syndrome while monitoring for known complications. Additionally, clinicians should maintain a high index of suspicion to avoid missing more mild presentations, such as in this case patient with DRESS syndrome minor.
