%X Introduction: The Drug Reaction with Eosinophilia and Systemic Symptom (DRESS) is a severe adverse drug-induced reaction. Case Report: A 55-year-old woman who presented with oral and genital ulcerations in the setting of a maculopapular rash, fever, liver dysfunction, and hematologic abnormalities 1 month after initiating Allopurinol. The patient was diagnosed with DRESS syndrome treated with high-dose systemic corticosteroids. Conclusion: The diagnosis of DRESS should be highly suspected with the presence of skin rash, liver involvement, fever, hypereosinophilia, and lymphadenopathy despite the presence of mucosal involvement
