The pitfalls associated with "DRESS" in sepsis.

Yoshihiko Takahashi*, Mitsunobu Nakamura

Drug Reaction with Eosinophilia and Systemic Symptoms (DRESS) or Drug-Induced Hypersensitivity Syndrome (DIHS) is a severe drug reaction characterized by fever, rash, lymphadenopathy, hematological abnormalities, multiple organ failure, and viral reactivation. DRESS/DIHS is characterized by a delayed onset of severe symptoms after drug exposure, the persistence of symptoms after drug discontinuation, and similarity to symptoms of several other diseases, including infectious diseases, requiring an accurate diagnosis and management.
