only YOU can diagnose DRESS syndrome! (Drug Rash with Eosinophilia & Systemic Symptoms) this is often *not* a dermatology diagnosis- rash & path can be nonspecific diagnosis often hinges on visceral involvement (eosinophilia, atypical lymphocytosis, liver injury, drug exposure history) #EMIMCC

Drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS 👗) 🍞 + 🧈 topic for internists, frequently encountered in infectious diseases due to association with many antibiotics (see table) and b/c it can mimic infection Review in @nejm.org #MedSky #DermSky #IDSky www.nejm.org/doi/full/10....

Clinical Features of DRESS and Other Cutaneous Adverse Reactions. Panel A shows the pleomorphic cutaneous findings associated with drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS). Panel B shows the morphologic features of cutaneous adverse reactions, including DRESS — erosive and exfoliative changes in a patient with DRESS, a morbilliform eruption concentrated on the torso in a patient with an uncomplicated drug eruption, labial erosions with hemorrhagic crusting in a patient with the Stevens–Johnson syndrome and full-thickness epidermal necrosis with bullae formation and a positive Nikolsky’s sign in a patient with toxic epidermal necrolysis, nonfollicular pustules (1 to 2 mm in diameter) on a background of erythema in a patient with acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis (AGEP), and a patient with severe AGEP with erythroderma, numerous sterile pustules, and lakes of pus. AGEP can also be associated with facial edema and the accentuation of earlobe creases.
