  • Resumen

  • For 16-year-old Izzy McKinney, a course of treatment with the antibiotic Bactrim first led to fevers and a bad rash.

    But that was just the beginning.

    What no one realized was that Izzy was suffering from a severe case of D.R.E.S.S: Drug Reaction with Eosinophilia and Systemic Symptoms.

    This introductory episode tells the tragic story of how DRESS syndrome took Izzy's life, leaving behind a devastated family. 

    It is a cautionary tale that illustrates the importance of understanding and making a prompt diagnosis of this potentially fatal condition.

    Interviewed: Tasha Tolliver, Izzy’s Mother, (President, Executive Director the DRESS Syndrome Foundation), July,  2019 in Richmond, VA.
