Overview
The early descriptions of DRESS syndrome were thought to be reported 1940s and 1950s. The term DRESS syndrome was first coined by Helene Bocquet, a French dermatologist, in 1996.
Historical Perspective
- DRESS syndrome was first described by Saltzstein in 1959. However, it is thought that DRESS syndrome may have described earlier since the 1940s following the introduction of hydantoin and reports of hydantoin-induced lymphadenopathy.[1]
- Initially, DRESS syndrome was occasionally termed either drug-induced pseudolymphoma given its clinical presentation that often mimics lymphoma or anticonvulsant hypersensitivity syndrome given its association with use of anticonvulsant agents.[2][3]
- The term DRESS syndrome was first coined by Helene Bocquet, a French dermatologist, in 1996.[4]
