Drug Reaction with Eosinophilia and Systemic Symptoms (DRESS) Associated with < b > < i > Mycoplasma pneumoniae < /i > < /b > Infection

We present a case of drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS), with drug etiology and non-drug etiology (Mycoplasma infection). Possible synergism between previously known drug allergy and the acute Mycoplasma infection may have led to DRESS eruption. Interferon- γ release test and TNF-α release test yielded different patterns in the present case, suggesting a different role for each in different drug eruption types.Case Rep Dermatol 2020;12:225 –230
