An investigation into the avoidability of drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS) syndrome

Abstract Drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS) syndrome is a rising morbidity amongst hospitalized patients. Whilst clinical protocols for the management of individual DRESS cases have been well established, determination of potential prevention of these cases by utilizing no...
