ROMAN CASTELLINI, Estela Vilma; LOPEZ TORRES, Orlando; PONCE RODRIGUEZ, Félix M y VELAZCO ELIZALDE, Cira. The DRESS syndrome by carbamazepine ingestion: report of a pediatric case. Rev. Med. Electrón. [online]. 2011, vol.33, n.6, pp. 771-779. ISSN 1684-1824.
We presented the case of a 10-years-old girl with antecedents of carbamazepine ingestion for epilepsy presumptive diagnosis, who entered the Teaching Pediatric Provincial Hospital Eliseo Noel Caamaño, in Matanzas, in May 2010, with fever, skin rash and vomiting at the beginning, followed by severe evolution, with jaundice and hepato-splenomegaly. We diagnosed the DRESS syndrome, with satisfactory evolution without using the steroidal therapy. We reviewed the literature about the hypersensibility syndrome for anticonvulsants, drugs of more and more frequent use.
