A 9‐year‐old boy presented with fever, rash, anterior cervical lymphadenopathy, high liver enzymes, atypical lymphocytosis, and eosinophilia (drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms [ DRESS ]). His history was notable for having taken griseofulvin for 3 weeks prior to onset of these findings. He improved after treatment with oral prednisone. We present a rare case of probable DRESS secondary to griseofulvin.
