Abstract EN
Drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS syndrome) is an uncommon side effect of certain medications.
It causes a skin reaction, with eosinophilia and other organ involvement.
This case describes a presentation of a 32-year-old female with a past medical history significant for schizophrenia and bipolar disorder who presented for a rash.
She had been started on clozapine 10 days prior to admission.
After extensive workup she was found to have DRESS syndrome secondary to clozapine use.
This is the second reported case in the literature of clozapine-induced DRESS syndrome.
This case is unique because it is the first case to present with the common manifestations of DRESS syndrome including eosinophilia, rash, lymphadenopathy, and organ involvement after clozapine use.
