Description
Bibek Shrestha and co-authors present a 2024 case report on serum sickness caused by streptokinase, a clot dissolving drug. Serum sickness is a delayed immune reaction with rash, joint pain, and fever. The case arose while treating a clot on a prosthetic heart valve, a hard problem in itself. Care meant stopping the drug and giving steroids. The authors stress close watch after clot therapy, since the cure can trigger its own illness. One case cannot set rates, but it flags a risk teams should keep in mind.
