Efavirenz can cause an allergic syndrome called the DRESS syndrome (Drug Rash with Eosinophilia and Systemic Symptoms). It is a life-threatening reaction that typically includes a rash, fever, lymphadenopathy, hepatitis, interstitial nephritis, pneumonia, myocarditis, and hematological abnormalities, particularly eosinophi-lia and a mononucleosis-like atypical lymphocjdosis. The DRESS syndrome has been described in an HIV-infected woman taking efavirenz (20). 

Hypersensitivity to barbiturates can result in a life-threatening syndrome called the Drug, Rash with Eosinophilia and Systemic Symptoms (DRESS) Syndrome with a mortality of 10%.

The DRESS syndrome is an acronym for Drug Rash with Eosinophilia and Systemic Symptoms. It is also known as the Drug-Induced Pseudolymphoma and Drug Hypersensitivity Syndrome.
