Distinguishing DRESS syndrome from drug rash and eosinophilia: Beyond RegiSCAR criteria
In this large study evaluating DRE patients whose disease does not meet the RegiSCAR criteria for DRESS, we found that additional factors outside the RegiSCAR criteria may help clinicians differentiate DRESS, which is critical for optimal and timely patient management. Our study also highlights the need for development of local protocols to ensure appropriate allergy labeling and testing are performed to prevent recurrent DRESS.
