An unusual case of primary ciliary dyskinesia associated with multiple drug intolerance syndrome

Abstract

The term multiple drug intolerance syndrome is used for patients who express adverse drug reactions to three or more drugs without a known immunological mechanism. It is a distinct clinical entity, different from cross-reactivity. The symptoms can range from a benign rash to life threatening syndromes like drug reaction with eosinophilia (DRESS) and systemic symptoms. We report a case of a child with primary ciliary dyskinesia who presented multiple drug intolerance syndrome.
