Abstract
Effective treatment of drug reactions with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DReSS) requires early diagnosis and close monitoring. Diagnosing DReSS is especially challenging in children due to a low incidence rate, heterogeneous clinical presentation, and a lack of (pediatric) diagnostic criteria and clinical practice guidelines. We performed a scoping review, according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines, to summarize the clinical presentation and diagnostic process of DReSS in children (aged 0–18 years). Data from 644 individuals showed that DReSS manifests differently in children compared to adults. Children have a higher number of organs involved, including higher rates of cardiac and respiratory involvement compared to adults. Children < 6 years of age appear more prone to develop neurologic symptoms. Conversely, eosinophilia, edema, and kidney involvement are less frequently observed in children. Anti-seizure medications are by far the most common causative drug class, but the range of implicated drugs increases as children get older. This study highlights that children with DReSS not only differ from adults but also that differences exist between children of different ages. As such, there is a need to establish pediatric-specific diagnostic criteria. These efforts will promote earlier diagnosis of DReSS and likely lead to improved clinical care offered to children and their families.
期刊介绍：
Clinical Reviews in Allergy & Immunology is a scholarly journal that focuses on the advancement of clinical management in allergic and immunologic diseases. The journal publishes both scholarly reviews and experimental papers that address the current state of managing these diseases, placing new data into perspective. Each issue of the journal is dedicated to a specific theme of critical importance to allergists and immunologists, aiming to provide a comprehensive understanding of the subject matter for a wide readership.
The journal is particularly helpful in explaining how novel data impacts clinical management, along with advancements such as standardized protocols for allergy skin testing and challenge procedures, as well as improved understanding of cell biology. Ultimately, the journal aims to contribute to the improvement of care and management for patients with immune-mediated diseases.
