Abstract
Drug rash with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms
(DRESS) syndrome is a drug hypersensitivity syndrome
characterized by fever, skin rash, blood eosinophilia and
multiple organ involvements including liver and kidney
developed following drug administration. Vasculitis could
be infrequent one of manifestations of DRESS syndrome.
Mortality rate of DRESS syndrome is at least 10%. Here,
we reported a case of DRESS syndrome with vasculitis. A
67-year-old man with essential hypertension presented with
fever and maculopapular rash after being given allopurinol
over 2 weeks for gout. He had severe oral mucositis. He
had peripheral blood eosinophilia and abnormal hepatic and
renal functions. A skin biopsy showed leukocytoclastic
vasculitis. Gastroduodenoscopy showed spontaneous mucosal
oozing in mid-to-lower esophagus. He was diagnosed
as having DRESS syndrome with vasulitis. Allopurinol was
stopped and systemic corticosteroid was administrated. His
clinical manifestations improved gradually. However, he
died of sudden onset of massive intracranial hemorrhage.
The case suggests that DRESS syndrome could sometimes
present manifestations of vasculitis, which might be fatal
