A definitive case of DRESS related to amoxicillin was established after
she earned 6 points on the RegiSCAR criteria [1] , which included
skin rash extent > 50%, face edema and scaling, hepatic
injury, myositis, atypical lymphocytes, and remission of symptoms after
2 weeks. She was prescribed prednisolone at a dose of 50 mg (1 mg/kg)
per day, along with cetirizine at a dose of 10 mg per day, and Vaseline
petrolatum twice daily. The facial edema and exfoliative dermatitis
gradually improved after the second week from the onset of symptoms(Figure 1B) and normalization of transaminases and bilirubin was
attained after 90 days (Figure 3 and 4).
