title: Persistent high nevirapine blood level with DRESS syndrome 12 days after interruption of antiretroviral therapy.
abstract: Nevirapine is an antiretroviral agent associated with drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS) syndrome. Such a case in an immunocompetent woman recently treated with nevirapine for postexposure HIV prophylaxis is reported here. Despite a period of 12 days after interruption of treatment, a high blood level of nevirapine was still observed.
