Death Due to Drug Reaction with Eosinophilia and Systemic Symptoms (DRESS) Syndrome: A Case Report.

There are currently no randomized trials evaluating treatments for DRESS, and evidenced-based guidelines are lacking. Viral reactivation has also been suggested as a possible complication of DRESS syndrome, though the true incidence and association remain unclear. Although we started our patient on high-dose IV corticosteroids early in her course, she still succumbed to complications of DRESS syndrome. Further research into the treatment of DRESS syndrome and its association with viral reactivation is essential.
