Serum sickness like reactions refer to adverse reactions that have similar symptoms to serum sickness , but in which immune complexes are not found. ref name Andrews James, William Berger, Timothy Elston, Dirk 2005 . Andrews Diseases of the Skin Clinical Dermatology . 10th ed. . Saunders. ISBN 0 7216 2921 0. ref rp 127 Pathogenesis Serum sickness like reaction is named for its clinical similarity to serum sickness, in which immune complexes are deposited in the skin, joints, and other organs. True serum sickness, a type III hypersensitivity reaction, results in fever, lymphadenopathy, arthralgias,cutaneous eruptions, gastrointestinal disturbances, proteinuria,and significant decreases in serum complement levels it was originally described after patients were infused with equine immunoglobulins. In contrast, serum sickness like reactions are specific drug reactions that are not associated with circulating immune complexes. Although the exact pathogenesis is poorly understood,serum sickness like reactions are thought to originate from an abnormal inflammatory reaction that occurs in response to defective metabolism of drug byproducts generated during pharmacologic therapy the metabolic flaw could be a maternally inherited trait. In vivo hepatic drug biotransformation studies have shown greater lymphocyte killing in subjects with a known history of serum sickness like reactions than in control subjects. Diagnosis The reaction generally includes a constellation of fever urticarial polycyclic wheals with central clearing on the trunk, extremities, face, and lateral borders of the hands and feet oral edema without mucosal involvement lymphadenopathy arthralgias myalgias and mild proteinuria. Case reports have noted the absence of fever in serum sickness like reactions to amoxicillin. Laboratory abnormalities include normal or mild decreases in serum C3, C4, and CH50 levels, and mild proteinuria.1,3 5 In contrast to true serum sickness, renal and hepatic involvementis rare ... more details
