Here we report a case of a 24-year-old female who developed a severe generalized Anasarca, skin erythema, facial puffiness, reddish discoloration over the body, fever, eosinophilia, leukocytosis and hepatitis 30 days after ingestion of olanzapine. Considering the occurrence of fever, eosinophilia, enlarged lymph nodes, typical skin rash and internal organ involvement, a ‘’ Probable diagnosis “of DRESS syndrome was made using the RegiSCAR Criteria.
