RESTREPO, Juan Pablo  and  MOLINA, María del Pilar. Sulphasalazine-induced eosinophilia and systemic symptoms: A case report. Rev.Colomb.Reumatol. [online]. 2018, vol.25, n.1, pp.59-62. ISSN 0121-8123.  https://doi.org/10.1016/j.rcreu.2017.04.003.

Drugs reactions with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms can be caused by an extensive list of medications, including sulphasalazine. The compromise is very varied, from skin rash to visceral involvement, accompanied by an eosinophilia that can sometimes lead to death. The cornerstone of the treatment is the suspension of the aggressive medication and the use of oral and intravenous corticosteroids, depending on the severity of the condition.

Keywords : Drug hypersensitivity syndrome; Eosinophilia; Sulphasalazine.
