Allergic reactions to streptokinase consistent with anaphylactic or antigen-antibody complex-mediated damage. 1985

K G McGrath, and B Zeffren, and J Alexander, and K Kaplan, and R Patterson

Streptokinase used as a thrombolytic agent may produce immunologic drug reactions. We report a second case of IgE-mediated anaphylaxis and a late reaction to streptokinase. This late reaction was consistent with an IgG-mediated antigen-antibody disease with transient renal involvement, fever, and cutaneous lesions. The second case responded to prednisone therapy.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008213 Lymphocyte Activation Morphologic alteration of small B LYMPHOCYTES or T LYMPHOCYTES in culture into large blast-like cells able to synthesize DNA and RNA and to divide mitotically. It is induced by INTERLEUKINS; MITOGENS such as PHYTOHEMAGGLUTININS, and by specific ANTIGENS. It may also occur in vivo as in GRAFT REJECTION.

D008297 Male Males
D004797 Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay An immunoassay utilizing an antibody labeled with an enzyme marker such as horseradish peroxidase. While either the enzyme or the antibody is bound to an immunosorbent substrate, they both retain their biologic activity; the change in enzyme activity as a result of the enzyme-antibody-antigen reaction is proportional to the concentration of the antigen and can be measured spectrophotometrically or with the naked eye. Many variations of the method have been developed.

D005779 Immunodiffusion Technique involving the diffusion of antigen or antibody through a semisolid medium, usually agar or agarose gel, with the result being a precipitin reaction.

D000707 Anaphylaxis An acute hypersensitivity reaction due to exposure to a previously encountered ANTIGEN.

D013300 Streptokinase Streptococcal fibrinolysin . An enzyme produced by hemolytic streptococci. It hydrolyzes amide linkages and serves as an activator of plasminogen. It is used in thrombolytic therapy and is used also in mixtures with streptodornase (STREPTODORNASE AND STREPTOKINASE). EC 3.4.-.
