International severe adverse drug reaction experts, Dr. David Ostrov and Dr. Vincent Descamps, talk to us about the immune response that occurs in DRESS syndrome as well as how antiviral and steroid therapies are often indicated in fighting this condition.
We also hear from Kent Van Donge about the importance of a team approach in the treatment of DRESS.
Interview: Dr.David A.Ostrov (Associate Professor of Experimental Pathology/University of Florida), Dr. Vincent Descamps (Professor of Dermatology at Bichat Claude Bernard Hospital), Kent Van Donge (Intern/Student and EMT) at the HHV-6 Foundation 2019 Conference in Quebec, Canada.
