Abstract
This article aims to scan the current medical literature on DRESS syndrome. Integrative review in the BVS, LILACS, SciELO, PubMed database of works published between 2019 and 2023, combining the descriptors "DRESS syndrome", "diagnosis" and "treatment" with the Boolean descriptor "AND". DRESS syndrome is a pharmacodermia that can be caused by several medications (mainly anticonvulsants), identified as an antigen by the body, triggering hypersensitivity of T lymphocytes. The time between exposure and reaction varies from two to six weeks. It is concluded that DRESS Syndrome is a severe drug-induced hypersensitivity reaction with high morbidity and mortality. This review demonstrates the importance of early diagnosis and medication suspension. More studies are still needed to reach a consensus on diagnosis and treatment.
