Abstract

MARTINEZ, Veline. DRESS syndrome induced by minocycline with development of acute interstitial nephritis. Acta Med Colomb [online]. 2012, vol.37, n.2, pp.89-92. ISSN 0120-2448.

DRESS syndrome (drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms) is a rare and severe hypersensitivity reaction characterized by multiorgan involvement and hematological abnormalities. We present the case of a 35 year old woman with minocycline-induced DRESS syndrome. The patient developed severe interstitial nephritis with renal failure, requiring hemodialysis support management. Renal function returned to normal after eight weeks of treatment with corticosteroids. (Acta Med Colomb 2012; 37: 89-92)

Keywords : acute tubule interstitial nephritis; DRESS syndrome; minocycline.
