Abstract
Drug rash, eosinophilia, and systemic symptoms syndrome is a type of drug hypersensitivity reaction characterized by the clinical triad of skin eruption, fever, and internal organ involvement. Drug rash, eosinophilia, and systemic symptoms syndrome has rarely been reported in association with vancomycin or in the pediatric population. There have only been four pediatric case reports of drug rash, eosinophilia, and systemic symptoms syndrome and three cases of drug rash, eosinophilia, and systemic symptoms syndrome involving vancomycin published in the English literature to date.
