Introduction: The DRESS (drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms) syndrome is a rare but serious and potentially lethal occurrence of a set of signs and symptoms associated with the use certain types of drugs. This syndrome is characterized by a heterogeneous clinical manifestation that, in many cases, results in multisystemic involvement. Case presentation: A 24-year-old man from Calarcá, Colombia, visited the emergency department of the local hospital due to a three-day history of unquantified intermittent fever associated with asthenia, adynamia, anorexia, headache, myalgia, odynophagia, and upper abdominal pain. Due to his condition and based on laboratory findings, he was referred to the Clínica Central del Quindío. The patient, 20 days before the initial assessment, had been prescribed a pharmacological treatment with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and phenytoin due to a severe cranioencephalic trauma; he also presented with generalized skin rash, elevated transaminases, and moderate eosinophilia. Complementary studies reported mild pericardial effusion, so DRESS syndrome was suspected, and corticosteroid therapy was started, achieving the complete remission of the syndrome. Conclusion: Although the DRESS syndrome has a low incidence, it should always be suspected, especially in patients with cardiac and pericardial involvement. In this case, pericardial involvement was evident, demonstrating that individuals with this syndrome may present with rare symptoms that have a serious impact on their health, as they may significantly increase adverse outcomes and mortality risk. Resumen Introducción. El síndrome de DRESS (Drug Reaction with Eosinophilia and Systemic symptoms) consiste en la ocurrencia, si bien poco frecuente, pero grave y potencialmente mortal, de un conjunto de signos y síntomas asociados al consumo de cierto tipo de medicamentos. Este síndrome se caracteriza por tener una manifestación clínica heterogénea que, en muchos casos, causa compromiso multisistémico. Presentación del caso. Hombre de 24 años de Calarcá, Colombia, que asistió al servicio de urgencias del hospital local por presentar fiebre intermitente no cuantificada durante 3 días, junto con astenia, adinamia, anorexia, cefalea, mialgias, odinofagia y dolor abdominal superior, y que, debido a su condición y resultados de laboratorio, fue remitido a la Clínica Central del Quindío. El paciente, 20 días antes de la valoración inicial, había recibido tratamiento farmacológico con antiinflamatorios no esteroides y fenitoína por traumatismo craneoencefálico severo; además presentó rash cutáneo generalizado, elevación de transaminasas y eosinofilia moderada. En los estudios complementarios se reportó derrame pericárdico leve, por lo que se sospechó síndrome de DRESS y se inició corticoterapia, lográndose así la remisión completa de la enfermedad. Conclusión. Aunque el síndrome de DRESS tiene una baja incidencia, siempre debe sospecharse, en especial en pacientes que presentan compromiso cardiaco y pericárdico. En este caso se destaca la afectación pericárdica, demostrando que en este síndrome se pueden presentar ma -nifestaciones poco frecuentes, pero con un gran impacto en su salud, ya que pueden aumentar considerablemente los desenlaces adversos y la mortalidad en estos pacientes.

Introduction: Most patients infected with the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) experience mild to moderate symptoms. This condition may affect multiple organs and systems, including the skin, and cutaneous manifestations are varied. Although several studies on COVID-19 have been conducted in Peru, to date, this type of manifestation has not been described in the Peruvian population, especially in environments with high prevalence of viral diseases that cause similar dermatological lesions, such as the Peruvian jungle. Case presentation: A 16-year-old male patient with no relevant medical history was admitted to a hospital in the Peruvian jungle due to headache, chills, general malaise, and respiratory distress. On physical examination, oxygen saturation was 89-90%, and a skin rash was observed; it was characterized by non-evanescent, confluent, pruritic, and symmetrical morbilliform lesions in the limbs, abdomen, thorax, and face, without mucous membrane involvement. Due to the shortage of molecular tests in the region where he was treated, he was diagnosed with COVID-19 based on serological (serological tests for SARS-CoV-2 (IgM+ and IgG+)) and radiological criteria (imaging findings compatible with COVID-19 atypical pneumonia). The initial treatment included the administration of ceftriaxone, azithromycin, dexamethasone, cetirizine, as well as the use of oxygen by binasal cannula. After 5 days and given the persistence of symptoms and respiratory and skin signs, treatment with ivermectin was started. 48 hours after the introduction of this treatment, the cutaneous and respiratory manifestations had completely resolved. Conclusions: Patients with COVID-19 may develop several cutaneous manifestations similar to those produced by other viruses or adverse drug reactions. Therefore, it is necessary to appropriately interview the patient and establish the chronological order of symptom onset to diagnose this disease correctly. Resumen Introducción. La mayoría de los pacientes con COVID-19 experimentan síntomas leves a moderados. Esta enfermedad puede afectar varios órganos y sistemas, entre ellos la piel, siendo las manifestaciones cutáneas muy variadas. A pesar de que en Perú existen varios estudios sobre COVID-19, a la fecha este tipo de manifestaciones no se han descrito en población peruana, lo cual llama la atención debido a que en el país existen varias zonas donde coexisten enfermedades virales que producen lesiones dermatológicas similares, tales como la selva peruana. Presentación del caso. Varón de 16 años sin antecedentes médicos relevantes quien ingresó a un hospital de la selva peruana con cefalea, sensación distérmica y dificultad respiratoria. Al examen físico, el paciente presentó una saturación de oxígeno de 89-90% y se observó erupción cutánea caracterizada por lesiones morbiliformes no evanescentes, confluentes, pruriginosas y simétricas en extremidades, abdomen, tórax y cara, sin compromiso de mucosas. Debido a la escasez de pruebas moleculares en la región donde fue atendido, al paciente se le realizó el diagnóstico de COVID-19 con base en criterios serológicos (pruebas serológicas para SARS-CoV-2 (IgM+ e IgG+)) y radiológicos (hallazgos de imagen compatibles con neumonía atípica por COVID-19). El manejo inicial incluyó la administración de ceftriaxona, azitromicina, dexametasona y cetirizina, así como el uso de oxígeno por cánula binasal. Después de 5 días, y ante la persistencia de los síntomas y signos respiratorios y cutáneos, se inició tratamiento con ivermectina; 48 horas después de haber instaurado este tratamiento se evidenció la resolución completa de las manifestaciones cutáneas y respiratorias. Conclusiones. Los pacientes con COVID-19 pueden desarrollar manifestaciones cutáneas similares a las producidas por otros virus o por reacciones adversas a medicamentos; por lo tanto, para realizar un diagnóstico apropiado de la enfermedad, es necesario hacer una adecuada entrevista al paciente y establecer el orden cronológico de aparición de los síntomas.
