Resumo

Drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS), also called drug-induced hypersensitivity syndrome, is a severe adverse drug reaction associated with immunologic abnormalities and viral reactivation. DRESS is difficult to diagnose because the symptoms mimic several other diseases and can appear long after initial drug exposure.1 RegiSCAR, a diagnostic tool developed to diagnose DRESS, is based on evaluating 7 criteria, including fever >38.8°C, acute skin rash, lymphadenopathy, internal organ involvement, and blood cell count abnormalities.
