Our 2024 theme: Voices for DRESS

The medical research community is making great strides in understanding genetic factors that play a role in why some people develop severe drug reactions like DRESS Syndrome to specific medications. In our 2024 campaign, we focused on "Voices for DRESS" and united our patient and medical communities to share their personal insights and research knowledge. Check out our videos below to learn our 2024 facts about DRESS and discover patient and medical stories to deepen your understanding. Know the facts. Hear their stories. Save lives.
