Drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS) syndrome is a rare but severe adverse event which can be caused by minocycline. An 18-year-old male patient developed fever, acute rash, pharyngeal pain, lymphadenopathy, hematologic abnormalities, increased creatinine level, elevated liver enzyme levels, and splenomegaly 4 weeks after the oral treatment of minocycline, 100\u00a0mg daily, for acne. Once diagnosed with DRESS syndrome, intravenous methylprednisolone was applied and his clinical manifestations and laboratory results remarkably improved. Then, a total of 13 DRESS syndrome cases induced by minocycline were reviewed and their clinical characteristics were summarized. In these cases, only two patient (15.4%) was present with pharynx involved. In conclusion, we reported a rare minocycline-induced DRESS syndrome who developed fever, eosinophilia, acute rash, pharyngitis, lymphadenopathy, acute kidney injury, hepatitis, and splenomegaly. Our report provides detailed clinical features of minocycline-induced DRESS syndrome, which helps us further understand this severe adverse event.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3389\/fphar.2024.1355774","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,3,7]],"date-time":"2024-03-07T00:04:09Z","timestamp":1709769849000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Case Report: Minocycline-induced drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms syndrome: a case report and literature review"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"Zhe","family":"Zhao","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ming","family":"Lu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yingqiu","family":"Ying","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,3,7]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"63","DOI":"10.1001\/archdermatol.2008.521","article-title":"Minocycline-induced drug hypersensitivity syndrome followed by multiple autoimmune sequelae","volume":"145","author":"Brown","year":"2009","journal-title":"Arch.
