Systemic hypersensitivity reaction to Omnipaque radiocontrast medium: a case of mini-DRESS

Clin Case Rep. 2016 Feb 21;4(4):336-8. doi: 10.1002/ccr3.513. eCollection 2016 Apr.

Abstract

Drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS) is a delayed drug reaction defined by physical signs and laboratory parameters. Mini-DRESS is a new entity, in cases that display some but not all features of DRESS. Cases of mini-DRESS have a less protracted course, and respond well to systemic corticosteroid treatment.

Keywords: Drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms; Mini‐DRESS; hypersensitivity; radiocontrast.
