In a drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic reaction (DRESS), patients present with a delayed onset syndrome with skin rash, haematological disturbances and systemic involvement, usually within the first 2 months of commencement of a new medication. The mortality rate is around 10%. A set of diagnostic criteria has been developed by the RegiSCAR study group for potential cases of DRESS.1 A Japanese group has modified the criteria and refers to this clinical syndrome as drug-induced hypersensitivity syndrome (DISH).2 Nonetheless there is great variation in the presentation of DRESS.3-5 Using the RegiSCAR scoring system, DRESS cases can be classified as ‘no’, ‘possible’, ‘probable’ or ‘definite’ cases.4 Different antidepressants have been reported to cause a DRESS/DISH-like syndrome. This is the first case report of escitalopram as a possible cause of DRESS according to the RegiSCAR scoring system.
