Serum disease
Serum sickness refers to an immune complex disease caused by the injection of sports immune serum. The symptoms mainly include rash, fever, joint pain, and lymphadenopathy. At present, the clinical application of immune serum has been reduced, and it is limited to immunosuppressive treatments such as preventing and treating diphtheria, tetanus, certain snake bites, and preventing graft rejection. In contrast, drug sensitization has become the most common cause of serum disease today.
