pubmed:abstractText |
A patient treated with penicillin intravenously developed a serum sickness-like reaction. Classical pathway complement (C) activation was indicated by quantitation of the split products C3c and C3d as well as demonstration of C4 conversion. Circulating immune complexes could, however, not be detected by the solid-phase Clq and PEG-precipitation methods. A concomitant accumulation of circulating hemoglobin-haptoglobin complexes and a marked fall in serum-fibronectin concentrations suggested saturation of the reticuloendothelial system. The plasma became a deep-red color, and a diffuse intravascular coagulation followed. The patient recovered completely upon discontinuation of penicillin administration.
