Multiple organ dysfunction syndrome: infection or hypersensitivity reaction
European Journal of Emergency Medicine, 10/12/09
Dreesman A et al. – Anticonvulsant hypersensitivity syndrome is a potentially life–threatening delayed hypersensitivity reaction characterized by the triad of fever, rash and multiorgan involvement, which usually occurs within the first weeks of introduction of an antiepileptic drug. The authors describe the case of a 6–year–old boy admitted with anticonvulsant hypersensitivity syndrome after the association of lamotrigine treatment with sodium valproic acid for reluctant epilepsy.
