Summary
We describe nine cases of anti-tuberculosis DRESS (drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic
symptoms) syndrome, a potentially serious complication of treatment that led to interruption of
treatment, systemic corticosteroid usage and the resumption of treatment with different regimens. All
patients had skin rash, six out of nine patients with hepatitis, two out of nine patients had acute kidney
injury, five out of nine patients died. All-cause mortality is high in our cohort.
