description Drug rash with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS) is a severe drug-induced hypersensitivity reaction, which, due to the asymptomatic beginning and non-specific nature of symptoms, is hard to identify. This report presents the case of a 7-year-old boy, who was referred to the Department of Paediatric Surgery with fever up to 38°C, vomiting and diarrhoea, accompanied by erythematous, maculopapular rash. Based on laboratory and radiology tests and specific diagnostic criteria, DRESS syndrome was diagnosed. The presented case report emphasises the need to carry out differential diagnosis, including the potentially life-threatening DRESS syndrome, with common symptoms in children such as fever and rash.
