| Summary: | Drug-induced hypersensitivity syndrome (DIHS) or drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS) is a rare, potentially fatal systemic reaction characterized by multiorgan damage involving the liver, hematopoietic system and skin, and heterogeneous manifestations of fever, rash, lymphadenopathy and eosinophilia with unpredictable course.We describe a 41-year-old female patient who developed DRESS syndrome after taking sulfasalazine prescribed for non-radiographic axial spondyloarthritis. Treatment with intravenous and then oral glucocorticoids was effective. A review of the literature on this topic is presented. |
