Q

Characteristic features of Drug-induced hypersensitivity syndrome

A

• Rash developing late (>3 weeks) after the inciting
medication is started; often occurs with the first exposure
to the medication
• Long-lasting symptoms (>2 weeks) after discontinuation
of the causative drug
• Fever (>38°C)
• Multiorgan involvement
• Eosinophilia (>1500 absolute eosinophilia); less common
with dapsone (criteria vary, with some groups citing
counts greater than 1500/μl and others more than
700/μl or above 10% if the leukocyte count is lower than
4000/μl)
• Lymphocyte activation (lymphocytosis, atypical
lymphocytosis, lymphadenopathy)
• Frequent reactivation of HHV-6, HHV-7, EBV, and CMV
