ABSTRACT
Drug rash with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS) syndrome, also known as drug-induced hypersensitivity syndrome (DIHS), is a rare, acute and severe life-threatening systemic disease. DRESS syndrome is characterized by fever, lymphadenopathy, rash, hypereosinophilia and involvement of systemic organs. The most commonly implicated drugs are anticonvulsants, sulfonamides and allopurinol. Chloral hydrate is a sedative and hypnotic drug frequently used in pediatric patients. We first report a case of DRESS syndrome induced by chloral hydrate in a 14-month-old female.
