Serum sickness-like reactions associated with cefprozil therapy.
Four patients had serum sickness-like reactions during treatment with cefprozil, a new cephalosporin. Two patients had had previous mild reactions associated with cephalosporin therapy. It remains uncertain whether cefprozil-associated serum sickness-like reaction represents a unique or a class-related adverse drug reaction.
