  • Title: DRESS syndrome associated with raltegravir.
    Author: Zhang KS, Modi GM, Hsu S.
    Journal: Dermatol Online J; 2011 Aug 15; 17(8):14. PubMed ID: 21906494.
    Abstract:
    Drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS) syndrome or drug-induced hypersensitivity is a potentially life-threatening drug hypersensitivity syndrome most commonly associated with anticonvulsants, allopurinol, long-acting sulfonamides, dapsone, and minocycline. In the setting of HIV infection, the antiretroviral medicines abacavir, nevirapine, and efavirenz have all shown well-documented associations with DRESS syndrome. There has only been one case (in a poster presentation) of this syndrome in a patient who was taking raltegravir.
