ABSTRACT

O termo DRESS (Drug Rash with Eosinophilia and Systemic Symptoms - erupção a medicamento com eosinofilia e sintomas sistêmicos) é uma reação de hipersensibilidade com características sistêmicas, sendo o acometimento hepático manifestação visceral mais comum. Objetivo: descrever dois casos de síndrome DRESS e hepatotoxicidade por carbamazepina e fenitoína, e fazer uma breve revisão da literatura. Relato de Casos: dois pacientes usuários de fármacos anticonvulsivantes apresentaram reações adversas com comprometimento do estado geral, erupção cutânea, eosinofilia periférica, aumento das aminotransferases e enzimas canaliculares. Após serem firmados os diagnósticos de síndrome DRESS e hepatotoxicidade, foram suspensos os anticonvulsivantes e introduzida corticoterapia sistêmica. Os pacientes evoluíram com importante melhora do quadro clínico-laboratorial. Conclusão: o reconhecimento precoce da DRESS é essencial pois o atraso no diagnóstico e na suspensão do medicamento desencadeante pode resultar no aumento da mortalidade.
