AbstractThis is an image and brief case report of a 13-year-old boy who presented with severe rash and systemic symptoms after starting oxcarbazepine. The patient was diagnosed and treated for Drug Reaction with Eosinophilia and Systemic Symptoms (DRESS), a syndrome of fever, rash, and internal organ involvement secondary to medication administration. The image illustrates the rash seen with this drug reaction. The report is followed by a brief review of anticonvulsant hypersensitivity syndrome and DRESS.
