title: [The "DRESS" syndrome in antituberculosis drugs].
abstract: The DRESS syndrome is a serious drug reaction that may involve life-threatening. We have to think before any skin reaction after taking drugs. We report a clinical case of a 27-year-old patient treated for pleural tuberculosis with the DRESS syndrome induced by antituberculosis. Through this work, we underline the rarity of this syndrome to antituberculosis treatment, but it should not be underestimated.
