%X we present four patients with pulmonary tuberculosis and severe adverse reactions to antituberculosis drugs. these patients had skin rash, hepatitis, eosinophilia, fever, and one of them had renal failure; all these signs conform the diagnosis of dress syndrome. this syndrome is caused by a severe hypersensitivity reaction to different drugs. it is usually caused by anticonvulsants, sulfonamides, some antiviral drugs, among others drugs. anti-tuberculosis drugs can also cause this potentially fatal syndrome. the importance of surveillance for early detection and treatment of adverse drug reactions is emphasized.
