DRESS (Drug Reaction With Eosinophilia and Systemic Symptoms) Is More: A Rare Case of Acalculous Cholecystitis

Acalculous cholecystitis is an uncommon cause of cholecystitis. Drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms is a complex syndrome that is induced by medications with delayed manifestations. Commonly implicated medications include anticonvulsants and antibiotics. We present the first case of acalculous cholecystitis due to quetiapine-induced drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms. This case report emphasizes the need for high clinical suspicion to initiate appropriate treatment.

Abstract

Acalculous cholecystitis is an uncommon cause of cholecystitis. Drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms is a complex syndrome that is induced by medications with delayed manifestations. Commonly implicated medications include anticonvulsants and antibiotics. We present the first case of acalculous cholecystitis due to quetiapine-induced drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms. This case report emphasizes the need for high clinical suspicion to initiate appropriate treatment.
