Abstract We present a special case of an 8‐year‐old girl diagnosed with severe drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms due to trimethoprim‐sulfamethoxazole for urinary tract infection prophylaxis for congenital vesicoureteral reflux. The patient is believed to have developed drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms because of her underlying renal disease.
