Síndrome DRESS asociado al uso de linezolid.

DRESS syndrome is an uncommon condition with an estimated incidence that varies between 1:1000 and 1:10,000 drug exposures. In hospitalized patients, DRESS accounts for 10-20% of all cutaneous adverse drug reactions; the risk of developing it varies from drug to drug. 75% of cases are due to some high-risk drugs, such as aromatic anticonvulsants, allopurinol, and some antibacterial agents such as sulfonamides or beta-lactams. We present the case of a patient who developed DRESS syndrome with renal involvement associated with the use of linezolid, a drug that has been infrequently associated with severe drug reactions.
