Drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS) is a severe cutaneous adverse reaction characterized by a morbilliform cutaneous eruption, fever, lymphadenopathy, and multiorgan involvement. Alopecia universalis is a variant of alopecia areata characterized by complete loss of hair on the entire body. Herein, we report a case of alopecia universalis that presented after DRESS.
