Abstract

Introduction: Dress (Drug Reaction with Eosinophilia and Systemic Symptoms) Syndrom is a rare drug toxidermia that is serious and potentially lethal[1]. It is an acute or subacute idiosyncratic reaction that classically associates a febrile dermatosis, hematologic abnormalities (hypereosinophilia and/or atypical lymphocytosis) as well as multivisceral failure.
