    Abstract:
    Anticonvulsant hypersensitivity syndrome is a systemic illness that presents most commonly as a triad of fever, rash, and lymphadenopathy in a patient exposed to one or more of the aromatic antiepileptic drugs (phenytoin, phenobarbital, and carbamazepine). Although generally self-limited, the syndrome may be life-threatening, particularly among patients who develop severe cutaneous eruptions or hepatitis. Early recognition of the syndrome is essential, as immediate discontinuation of the offending antiepileptic agent is the most important step in improving outcome. We present a case of anticonvulsant hypersensitivity syndrome in a patient with a previous history of Hodgkin's lymphoma.
