Medicine Grand Rounds, Christopher Sayed “DRESS Syndrome and Related Drug-Induced Dermatitis”

May 18, 2017 @ 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm

}

Christopher SayedDrug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS) is a rare, potentially life-threatening, drug-induced hypersensitivity reaction that includes skin eruption, hematologic abnormalities (eosinophilia, atypical lymphocytosis), lymphadenopathy, and internal organ involvement. DRESS is characterized by a long latency (two to eight weeks) between drug exposure and disease onset, a prolonged course with frequent relapses despite the discontinuation of the culprit drug, and frequent association with the reactivation of latent human herpesvirus infections. DRESS will be reviewed in this lecture, along with related drug-induced dermatitis.

Dr. Sayed practices Adult Dermatology and Dermatologic Surgery. He has a special interest in treating Hidradenitis Suppurativa and follicular disorders, along with skin complications of inflammatory bowel disease.
