Abstract
Drug Reaction with Eosinophilia and Systemic Symptoms (DRESS) syndrome
is a drug hypersensitivity reaction characterized by rash, multiple
systemic symptoms, and eosinophilia. DRESS syndrome develops following
exposure to inciting medications, typically antibiotics and
antiepileptics. Anticoagulants are not classically associated with this
syndrome, though cases exist in association with vitamin K antagonists
and oral anticoagulants. There are two known cases of enoxaparin-induced
DRESS syndrome in adults, but no reports in the literature in the
pediatric setting. In this report, we present the case of a pediatric
patient who developed classic symptoms and lab findings of DRESS
syndrome secondary to enoxaparin therapy.
