Drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS) syndrome is an idiosyncratic, drug-induced hypersensitivity reaction that presents with skin rash, involvement of internal organs like liver, lung, or kidney, lymphadenopathy, and hematological manifestations such as eosinophilia and atypical lymphocytes. It is a rare condition with an annual incidence of 0.9/100,000 [1]. There is a latency of 2–8 weeks between drug exposure and the onset of skin rash in DRESS syndrome, which is more than in most other drug reactions. The most common culprits are antiepileptics like carbamazepine, lamotrigine, or phenytoin in 35%, NSAIDs in 13%, sulfonamides like sulfasalazine, dapsone, trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, or sulfadiazine in 12%, antibiotics such as vancomycin, minocycline, or penicillin in 11%, and allopurinol in 6% of cases
