[DRESS syndrome caused by phenylbutazone].
The drug rash with hypereosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS) syndrome is a severe drug-induced hypersensitivity syndrome. We report a 57-year-old woman suffering from a DRESS syndrome 15 days after phenylbutazone exposure. She had a skin eruption, liver involvement and hypereosinophilia. She fully recovered after drug withdrawal.
