What is dress sendromu nedir?

Dress syndrome, also known as Drug Reaction with Eosinophilia and Systemic Symptoms (DRESS), is a rare but severe adverse drug reaction. It typically occurs two to eight weeks after a person starts taking a new medication, and is characterized by a skin rash, high fever, swollen lymph glands, and internal organ involvement such as liver dysfunction.

DRESS syndrome is a potentially life-threatening condition, and can cause severe damage to the liver, kidneys, heart, and lungs. Delayed diagnosis or treatment can lead to death in up to 10% of cases.

Some of the drugs that have been associated with DRESS syndrome include anticonvulsants, antibiotics, and some anti-inflammatory medications. The condition is believed to be caused by an abnormal immune response triggered by the medication.

If a person experiences symptoms of DRESS syndrome while taking a medication, they should seek medical attention immediately. Treatment typically involves discontinuing the medication and using medications to manage symptoms. In severe cases, hospitalization and intensive care may be necessary.
