Unreliability of local reactions to serum as tests for general sensitivity.
The problem of sensitivity tests for serum can be stated to be as follows: Is it possible, by observing the local reaction which follows an intradermal or subcutaneous injection of a small amount of serum, to determine beforehand whether or not a patient will develop anaphylactic shock, and/or severe serum sickness, when given a full therapeutic or prophylactic dose? To be of practical value, t...
متن کاملSerum sickness-like reactions.
A serum sickness-like reaction (SSLR) to drug administration usually consists of cutaneous rash, arthralgia/arthritis, and, often, fever. This entity rarely has been discussed in the dermatologic literature. We describe the case of a 3-year-old girl with urticaria, fever, and arthralgia that appeared 8 days after starting cefaclor therapy for otitis media.
متن کاملSerum Reactions in Syphilis
now being paid to the development of precipitation methods for the serum diagnosis of syphilis, the present time is opportune for a consideration of the relative value of the more important of these tests and a comparison with those which depend upon complement fixation, i.e., the Wassermann test. It is a very remarkable fact that the test introduced eighteen years ago by Wassermann and his co-...
متن کاملQuantitative serum immunoglobulin tests.
What is the test? Immunoglobulins are protein molecules. They contain antibody activity and are produced by the terminal cells of B-cell differentiation known as 'plasma cells'. There are five classes of immunoglobulin (Ig): IgG, IgM, IgA, IgD and IgE. In normal serum, about 80% is IgG, 15% is IgA, 5% is IgM, 0.2% is IgD and a trace is IgE. Quantitative serum immunoglobulin tests are used to de...
متن کاملAvailable assays for serum thyroxine and for serum uptake tests.
While the present tendency may be towards a more dynamic test for thyroid function, there is still a very definite place for the various in-vitro methods. The relative merits of serum protein-bound iodine estimations and total T4 estimations have been dealt with in the previous paper (Clark, 1975). The intention here is to deal with the various methods for the latter test and to indicate their ...
