Overview
Secondary preventive measures to avoid DRESS syndrome include avoidance of drug re-exposure, screening for cross-reacting agents using in vitro lymphocyte toxicity assays, and possibly desensitization techniques.
Secondary Prevention
Secondary preventive measures to avoid DRESS syndrome include the following:
- Avoid re-exposure to drugs that have previously caused DRESS syndrome
- Screen for cross-reacting agents using in vitro lymphocyte toxicity assays
- Desensitization has not been reported to be effective in some case reports, but the true effectiveness of the desensitization has not been studied.[1]
