Abstract

Serum sickness is rare; however, there is a significant hypersensitivity reaction to streptokinase used in different cardiac problems. Treatment often involves discontinuing the offending agent and administering corticosteroids. This case underscores the complexities of managing prosthetic valve thrombosis and highlights the importance of monitoring and addressing complications of thrombolytic therapy.

期刊介绍： Clinical Case Reports is different from other case report journals. Our aim is to directly improve global health and increase clinical understanding using case reports to convey important best practice information. We welcome case reports from all areas of Medicine, Nursing, Dentistry, and Veterinary Science and may include: -Any clinical case or procedure which illustrates an important best practice teaching message -Any clinical case or procedure which illustrates the appropriate use of an important clinical guideline or systematic review. As well as: -The management of novel or very uncommon diseases -A common disease presenting in an uncommon way -An uncommon disease masquerading as something more common -Cases which expand understanding of disease pathogenesis -Cases where the teaching point is based on an error -Cases which allow us to re-think established medical lore -Unreported adverse effects of interventions (drug, procedural, or other).
