Deskripsi
Abstract A sulfasalazine‐induced DRESS (Drug Reactivation with Eosinophilia and Systemic Symptoms) was complicated by a Crohn's‐like colitis. We demonstrated HHV‐6 reactivation with presence of HHV‐6 DNA and small noncoding RNA in colonic lesions. This observation confirms the major role of HHV‐6 reactivation in DRESS manifestations and the importance of looking for HHV‐6 reactivation in DRESS.
