Abstract
- Drug-induced hypersensitivity syndrome (DIHS) is a rare but severe life-threatening, drug-induced, systemic hypersensitivity reaction. We report two patients who developed DIHS during treatment for acute myeloid leukemia. Awareness of DIHS is necessary when systemic eruptions and high fever occur in leukemic patients, especially with rapid hematopoietic recovery after chemotherapies.
