[DRESS syndrome, a differencial diagnosis in late postoperative complications].

We present the case of a 54-year-old man, healthy and without relevant background, who was operated on two times due to spontaneous abdominal bleeding. Three weeks after the last surgery, and coinciding with the administration of oral metamizole, the patient developed a DRESS syndrome. The initial unspecific deterioration, characteristic of this syndrome, is the main cause of the delay in diagnosis and correct treatment, causing the resulting evolution to systemic affectation.
