Abstract
ABSTRACTA case of serum sickness following the administration of streptokinase is presented. This has not previously been reported in Australia.It typically presents, as in this case, seven to 10 days after administration of streptokinase, with a vasculitic rash and arthritis and resolves spontaneously over about a week with conservative management.Corticosteroids have been advocated for more severe cases.Mild cases may occur and go unrecognised because of the delayed onset and infrequency of this condition.
