Abstract:
Drug rash with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS) syndrome is a rare and
life-threatening delayed drug hypersensitivity reaction characterized by skin eruption,
fever, lymphadenopathies, and visceral involvement. Here, we are presenting a 12 year
old boy, who developed rare but life threatening DRESS syndrome due to Lamotrigine.
Early detection and treatment led to his rapid recovery. This case is presented to highlight
the importance of early detection of rare fatal syndrome.
