Incidence of DRESS in children is not well known and the mortality rate seems to be lower than 10%. Anticonvulsants are the main drugs involved both in adults and in children. The treatment of choice is intravenous immunoglobulins and corticosteroids used in synergy. Today there are not controlled clinical trials regarding DRESS treatment in children. Anyway, the prompt withdrawn of the offending drug is of paramount importance for a better prognosis. DRESS sequels may occur, consequently, follow-up visits are required at least until the first year after the reaction.</p>}, number={3-S}, journal={Acta Biomedica Atenei Parmensis}, author={Mori, Francesca and Caffarelli, Carlo and Caimmi, Silvia and Bottau, Paolo and Liotti, Lucia and Franceschini, Fabrizio and Cardinale, Fabio and Bernardini, Roberto and Crisafulli, Giuseppe and Saretta, Francesca and Novembre, Elio}, year={2019}, month={Jan.}, pages={66–79} }
