Unraveling the complexities of drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS): Insights into clinical, laboratory, and histopathologic features of a case series from an Italian tertiary center

Drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS) is a severe and potentially life-threatening drug hypersensitivity reaction. The diagnosis and management of DRESS are complicated due to its heterogeneous clinical and pathologic presentations, delayed onset of signs and symptoms, and unpredictable outcome. This retrospective study aimed to analyze cases of DRESS from a single Italian referring tertiary hospital center (Grande Ospedale Metropolitano Niguarda, Milan, Italy) with a focus on clinical features, causative drugs, histopathologic findings, and treatment.
