Serum sickness consists of a systemic reaction resulting from the formation of soluble circulating immunocomplexes after the introduction of a foreign substance into the body We studied a 38-year-old woman diagnosed with anxiety, depression and right sacroileitis who was treated with phenylbutazone,
Rifampin is commonly used as a first-line anti-tuberculosis drug, but it can induce a serum sickness-like reaction or anaphylaxis. However, it is possible for 1 drug antigen to induce 2 or more simultaneous immunologic reactions. Here, we report a case of a serum-sickness-like reaction and
OBJECTIVE
Rituximab (RTX) therapy has shown promising results in Graves' disease (GD), with or without ophthalmopathy. We examined the occurrence of adverse events in GD patients treated with RTX.
METHODS
Ten patients received RTX and methimazole, while 10 patients received methimazole only. Adverse
Wasp and bee sting are commonly encountered worldwide. Local reactions are more common, generally are self-limiting and settle within a few hours. Multiple stings can lead to various clinical manifestations like vomiting, diarrhea, dyspnea, generalized edema, hypotension, syncope, acute renal
Bee stings are commonly encountered worldwide. Various manifestations after a bee sting have been described. Local reactions are common. Unusually, manifestations such as vomiting, diarrhea, dyspnea, generalized edema, acute renal failure, hypotension, and collapse may occur. Rarely, vasculitis,
Wasp stings generally cause local reactions like pain, wheal, flare, edema and swelling, which are generally self-limiting. Multiple stings can lead to vomiting, diarrhea, generalized edema, dyspnea, hypotension, collapse, renal failure or death. Unusually, they may cause serum sickness, vasculitis,
Ceftibuten suspension was administered to 1312 pediatric patients in clinical trials at a dosage of 9 mg/kg once daily, with a maximal daily dose of 400 mg. Adverse experiences were collected by voluntary reports by physicians from direct observations, parental and/or patient complaints in 1152
We determined the safety, feasibility, and efficacy of a treatment regimen consisting of maxillary sinus aspiration and irrigation with or without adenoidectomy, followed by culture-directed intravenous antibiotics and oral prophylaxis, for children with chronic rhinosinusitis refractory to oral
Fifteen patients with documented bacterial lower respiratory tract infections were treated with cefoperazone (2 gm every 12 hours, administered parenterally) as the single antibiotic therapy. Pulmonary infections included pneumonia (10), anaerobic lung abscess (2), bronchitis (2), and exacerbation
The antigen reactive with murine monoclonal antibody (MAb) KS1/4 is expressed on epithelial malignancies and some normal epithelial tissues. Studies were undertaken to evaluate KS1/4-methotrexate (KS1/4-MTX) immunoconjugate in patients with advanced non-small cell carcinoma of the lung. Eleven
Administration of antivenoms to treat snakebite envenomings has the potential risk of inducing early adverse reactions. The mechanisms involved in these reactions are unclear. In this study, polyspecific antivenom consisting of whole IgG purified from equine plasma by caprylic acid precipitation was
OBJECTIVE
To study the safety of intravenously administered porcine-derived hyperimmune immunoglobulin to HIV-1, PASSHIV-1, in humans.
METHODS
Fourteen HIV-1-infected individuals were treated for 5-7 days with intravenous infusions of highly purified PASSHIV-1 (> 95% pure). Two of the 14 patients
Bee stings are commonly encountered worldwide. Various manifestations after bee sting have been described. Local reactions are common. Unusually, manifestations like vomiting, diarrhea, dyspnea, generalized edema, acute renal failure, hypotension and collapse may occur. Rarely vasculitis, serum
Antithymocyte globulin (ATG) has recently been popularized as an effective treatment in myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). We treated 8 anemic MDS patients (refractory anemia [RA] and refractory anemia with excess blasts [RAEB-1]) with ATG (40 mg/kg/d for 4 days) and prednisone in a phase 2 trial. The
