Patients lie about all kinds of things, doesn't mean there's no benefit in asking

To the point that you're taught in medical school to ask the patient if their parents were related if considering the disease

Not that an underbite makes her incest - but some of those rare disorders are basically only seen in offspring of relatives

Hopefully the favipiravir trials are successful. The only CoV2 study (albeit not a great one) showed a shortened viral clearance time

I'm sure that tocilizumab is more effective than hydroxychloroquine. Just saying that hydroxy isn't just a random immunosuppressant

And CoV2 has some poorly understood interaction with heme as well.

Hydroxychloroquine does have some heme-altering effect potentially implicated in its anti-malarial efficacy

I'm sure it was, sorry you had to go through all of that. Hope everything is going well now!

It's a nitpicky difference but by definition serum sickness is a reaction to non-human proteins like anti-venom for example

Yeah that's another common drug "allergy"!

Regardless of the cause, around 90% of people that truly believe they're allergic don't actually have a penicillin allergy

Actually associated with a true allergy or they take it with an EBV infection and get the classic rash that looks like hives 2/

It's not that people lie about it, they're just mistaken. Either they take a penicillin drug that causes symptoms that aren't 1/

Technically he had a serum sickness-like reaction. Similar symptoms but different pathogenesis from true serum sickness

Just throwing this out there as a general fact - 90% of patients that claim to have a penicillin allergy aren't truly allergic

Like true rash, swelling, wheezing allergies to both?

Correct, can't shock PEA. Dunno why you're being downvoted
