Abstract

Drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS) is a hypersensitivity reaction. Therefore, the case of a 51-year-old woman with no history of drug allergies is presented. In empirical treatment with Ceftriaxone, presenting 15 days later pruritic maculopapular rash on the chest, abdomen and extremities accompanied by temperature rises of up to 39°C. Laboratories with leukocytes of 47.38/uL, with eosinophils of 27.07/uL, and skin biopsy report with inflammatory infiltrate in the dermis at the expense of eosinophils. regiSCAR and J-SCAR with results of 8 and 6 points respectively. Administering methylprednisolone 250 mg every 24 hours for 3 days, continuing with prednisone 50 mg per day. Improvement of skin lesions and laboratory abnormalities at 72 hours. DRESS induced by this antibiotic is rare. Appropriate assessment of the indications and diagnostic assumption of side effects is important because the manifestations are potentially reversible.of rash, fever, facial edema, lymphadenopathy, hematologic abnormalities, and visceral involvement.
