Modern Rheumatology, 06/15/2012
Maeshima E et al. – When a 36–year–old woman with fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) underwent the tuberculin test, urticaria developed on her trunk at 30 min after intradermal injection of purified protein derivative. Although the urticaria resolved, fever, facial edema, and generalized urticaria occurred after 8 h. A patient with FMS who developed a systemic allergic reaction after an intradermal skin test has not been reported.
