  • Title: Drug-induced hypersensitivity syndrome with rapid hematopoietic reconstitution during treatment for acute myeloid leukemia.
    Author: Suzuki HI, Asai T, Tamaki Z, Hangaishi A, Chiba S, Kurokawa M.
    Journal: Haematologica; 2008 Mar; 93(3):469-70. PubMed ID: 18310542.
    Abstract:
    Drug-induced hypersensitivity syndrome (DIHS) is a rare but severe life-threatening, drug-induced, systemic hypersensitivity reaction. We report two patients who developed DIHS during treatment for acute myeloid leukemia. Awareness of DIHS is necessary when systemic eruptions and high fever occur in leukemic patients, especially with rapid hematopoietic recovery after chemotherapies.
