Abstract

TEN/DRESS overlap syndrome can be difficult to diagnose, especially if it is masked by comorbidities in critically ill patients in intensive care units. The existing therapy for the two conditions is also a major challenge for the treating team. A possible alternative, especially for refractory cases, is benralizumab as an IL-5-receptor alpha-chain-specific humanized monoclonal antibody (IgG1k). We are able to show a successful treatment in this case report. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
