The authors reported a case of Silver-Protein allergy. The case was a 47 years old man who had complained of nasal discharge and nasal obstruction. Severe symptoms, such as tachypnea, palpitation, erubescene on the face and itch of the body were founded after nasal treatment. The provocation test of Silver-Protein solution showed positive reaction and similar symptoms.
The assertion made by Dr. Taro Takemi,“We are entering into a new age of advanced health and accordingly, safety education is a thing of vital necessity for safe-guarding our health before we have our health basically destroyed and actually contract a disease” should be a target of universal concurrence and res pect.
For the sake of such safety education and in order to prevent an onset of the so-called “Iatrogenic disease”, liable to be induced by medicines and also, for the purpose of guarding the patient from another sensation of disagreeableness when receiving medical treatment, the necessity of a record (provisionally named), containing the patient's past experiences on his reactions to the medicines, would be conceived.
The patient, who is over-sensitive to a medicine, should then be requered to submit the record to his physician when receiving a treatment from him.
The present writer is especially desirous that this procedure be adopted for actual practices in medicine.
