ABSTRACT
Medications are elements that improve our quality of life in different
ways. However, with the use of medications we can have side effects
related to the interaction between medication-medication, medicationfood,
medication-supplements, drugs-diseases, and finally drugs and the
human body. The eosinophilic drug reaction syndrome and systemic
symptoms, is a serious infrequent and potentially fatal toxicoderma. The
chronology covers a long-time interval between the intake of the
medication and the appearance of the first symptoms (2-8 weeks). Its
pathophysiology is not fully elucidated. An immune response is involved
against the drug or its metabolites in a context of genetic susceptibility
(expressed by the association of some human leukocyte antigens [HLA]
and / or metabolism abnormalities of the drug) and a reactivation of
herpes virus (human herpes virus) 6 [VHH-6], VHH-7, Epstein-Barr virus,
cytomegalovirus), with a T lymphocyte immune response directed
against these viruses. The diagnosis of this syndrome is confirmed by
clinical and paraclinical diagnostic criteria. The treatment is not well
standardized, but it is based on the interruption of the presumed
medication involved and on corticosteroid therapy.
