Drug rash, eosinophilia, and systemic symptoms (DRESS) syndrome is a severe systemic hypersensitivity reaction that usually occurs within 6 weeks of exposure to the offending drug. Diagnosis is usually straightforward in patients with pyrexia, skin rash, hepatitis, and eosinophilia with a preceding history of exposure to agents often associated with DRESS syndrome, such as aromatic anticonvulsants and sulfa drugs, but diagnosis of DRESS may still be a challenge. We report a 4-year-old child with probable DRESS syndrome complicated by multiple hematologic complications that developed 1 month after exposure to fluoxetine, a drug not known to be associated with such severe reactions.
药物疹、嗜酸性粒细胞增多及系统症状(DRESS)综合征是一种严重的全身性超敏反应,通常在接触致病药物后6周内发生。对于有发热、皮疹、肝炎及嗜酸性粒细胞增多,且之前有接触常与DRESS综合征相关药物(如芳香族抗惊厥药和磺胺类药物)病史的患者,诊断通常很简单,但DRESS的诊断仍可能具有挑战性。我们报告一名4岁儿童,可能患有DRESS综合征,并伴有多种血液学并发症,这些并发症在接触氟西汀1个月后出现,氟西汀是一种未知会引发此类严重反应的药物。
