Resumo

Objetivo: Descrever um relato de caso sobre a Síndrome de Reação a Drogas com Eosinofilia e Sintomas Sistêmicos (DRESS). Detalhamento de caso: Paciente masculino de 46 anos, anteriormente saudável, desenvolveu DRESS após o uso de carbamazepina para tratar neuralgia associada a herpes zoster. Após 40 dias de tratamento, ele apresentou erupções cutâneas, febre alta e linfadenopatia acentuada, sendo diagnosticado com DRESS no hospital. O tratamento imediato envolveu a suspensão da carbamazepina e a administração de hidrocortisona e prometazina, resultando em significativa melhora clínica e laboratorial do paciente. A equipe médica monitorou atentamente sua evolução, garantindo a adequação das intervenções. Considerações finais: A síndrome de DRESS, embora rara, representa uma condição clinicamente relevante devido a sua significativa morbimortalidade. Frequentemente, está associada ao uso de medicamentos diversos, mas também pode apresentar relação com agentes virais comuns, como o vírus Epstein-Barr e outros patógenos. O diagnóstico preciso dessa síndrome depende do reconhecimento dos critérios clínicos por parte dos profissionais de saúde, o que é fundamental para iniciar o tratamento apropriado e evitar complicações graves.
