Serum sickness is a type of allergic reaction to non-human proteins.[1] Symptoms commonly include fever, rash, and joint pain.[2] It generally occurs 7 to 14 days after exposure and symptoms can last for a few weeks.[2] Complications are rare, though repeated episodes of serum sickness may potentially result in kidney failure.[2]
