Popis: Background DRESS (drug rash with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms) syndrome is quite difficult to diagnose due to its mimic nature and an absence of a specific diagnostic confirmation technique. In fact, this entity used to be misdiagnosed. Different drug families have been described as causative agents, being the aromatic anticonvulsants the most frequent drugs involved, although other drugs as allopurinol or sulfonamides must be kept in mind too. Until now, piperacillin-tazobactam has been scarcely reported as the culprit drug.
