  • Title: Drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS): a clinical update and review of current thinking.
    Author: Walsh SA, Creamer D.
    Journal: Clin Exp Dermatol; 2011 Jan; 36(1):6-11. PubMed ID: 21143513.
    Abstract:
    Summary Drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS) describes a severe medication-induced adverse reaction, which has cutaneous, haematological and solid-organ features. It is one of the triad of life-threatening drug hypersensitivity dermatoses, along with acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis (AGEP) and Stevens-Johnson syndrome/toxic epidermal necrolysis (SJS/TEN). In this article, we discuss several controversies that surround DRESS, including problems with nomenclature and the lack of consensus in diagnostic criteria.
