Patient's question:
What aspects does serum sickness type mainly reflect?Doctor's answer:
Patients with serum sickness often experience symptoms such as urticaria-like wheals, purpuric rash, or measles-like rash. For patients with serum sickness, symptomatic relief is generally achieved with medications such as salicylates, 10% calcium gluconate, and 0.1% epinephrine. Some severely affected patients may require the use of adrenal cortical hormones, hydrocortisone, and other medications for relief.
