Human herpesvirus (HHV)-6 reactivation is an accepted criterion for the diagnosis of DINS and has prognostic importance. We report a 15-year-old boy with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis who developed DINS due to sulfasalazine, associated with reactivation of HHV-6.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessSulfasalazinedrug-induced hypersensitivity syndromehuman herpesvirus-6 reactivationSulfasalazine-induced hypersensitivity syndrome in a 15-year-old boy associated with human herpesvirus-6 reactivationArticle281454710.1080/15569520802696250195149262-s2.0-70350520736Q3WOS:000266590200008Q4
