چکیده

Drug rash with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS) syndrome is a drug reaction commonly occurring in association with aromatic anticonvulsants and allopurinol. It is characterized by triad of fever, skin eruption, and systemic involvement. DRESS is rare with beta‑lactam antibiotics and even rarer with ceftriaxone. We describe a case of pneumonia who developed ceftriaxone‑induced rash, bicytopenia, eosinophilia, transaminitis and was eventually diagnosed and managed successfully as a case of DRESS.
