ABSTRACT

Presentamos cuatro pacientes con tuberculosis pulmonar y reacciones adversas graves a los fármacos antituberculosis. Estos pacientes tuvieron farmacodermia, hepatitis, eosinofilia, fiebre y uno de ellos insuficiencia renal, constituyendo el Síndrome DRESS. Este síndromees una reacción grave de hipersensibilidad a diferentes fármacos. Suele ser producido por los anticonvulsivantes, las sulfonamidas, algunos fármacos antivirales, entre otros. Los fármacos anti tuberculosis también pueden producir este síndrome potencialmente fatal. Se destaca la importancia de la farmacovigilancia para su detección y tratamiento precoz.
