    Abstract:
    The DRESS (Drug Rash with Eosinophilia and Systemic Symptoms) corresponds to a drug reaction generally including cutaneous eruption, fever, hematologic abnormalities such as eosinophilia and atypical lymphocytosis and one or more specific visceral lesions specially in the liver. We report a case of drug hypersensitivity syndrome or DRESS associated with intra and extra-hepatic biliary lesions. This syndrome was associated with sulfasalazine and naproxene therapy. A reactivation of HHV6 was documented in the continuations of the DRESS and could play a role in the symptomms.
