Abstract
ABSTRACT
Drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS) syndrome is a rare, life-threatening adverse reaction caused by certain medications. Clinical findings usually include rash, fever, lymphadenopathy, and eosinophilia, and in some cases, they may affect major organs. This reaction caused by antituberculosis (TB) medication poses a public health risk due to treatment discontinuation, adherence, or success in cure. We present a 23-year-old female patient who developed DRESS syndrome as a result of group A anti-TB drugs (ATDs), an exceedingly rare occurrence. The patient’s medication was successfully retrieved using a re-desensitization protocol.
