A breath-taking DRESS due to amoxicillin-clavulanate presenting as polymorphic eruption of the pregnancy.

Drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS) is a delayed-type drug hypersensitivity reaction with potential life-threatening complications. To our knowledge, DRESS has never been described in pregnancy. Here, we report on a pregnant woman presenting with erythematous plaques on the abdomen, developing cardiac tamponade due to eosinophilic perimyocarditis and an interstitial pneumonitis five weeks after exposure to amoxicillin-clavulanate.
