Change of soluble interleukin‐2 receptor (sIL‐2R) during the course of drug‐induced hypersensitivity syndrome (DIHS)/drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS), and correlation between sIL‐2R levels and human herpesvirus 6 (HHV‐6) load. (a) In each group, sIL‐2R levels were measured within 1 week, and at 2, 3 and 4 weeks after onset of the disease. (b) Means of sIL‐2R levels at 2, 3 and 4 weeks after onset of the disease were compared among each group. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01. (c) Serum sIL‐2R levels measured when HHV‐6 DNA was detected in the blood were correlated with HHV‐6 load.
