Core Tip
Core Tip: Sarcoidosis is a clinical challenge due to its less understood etiology and heterogeneous manifestations in most cases. Here, we report a unique case of pulmonary sarcoidosis that developed as a prolonged symptom of allopurinol-induced drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS). The case indicated that the autoimmune reaction of DRESS may play an important role in the pathogenesis of sarcoidosis.
