Abstract

DRESS (Drug Reaction with Eosinophilia and Systemic Symptoms) is a life-threatening drug reaction that includes an extensive skin rash, hematologic abnormalities (eosinophilia), lymphadenopathy, and organ involvement such as liver, kidney, and lungs. We report the case of a 37-year-old nursing woman who suffered a DRESS syndrome secondary to the intake of iodine supplements. Given the potential severity of that syndrome, and the facility to obtain nutritional supplements without a prescription, we believe it is interesting to share this case to help the physicians suspect this possibility and guide in the diagnosis and management.
