Dear Miss Madley:
I have your letter of January 16 regarding Miss Evans.
This problem brings to mind several similar reactions
among our student nurses of the last few years. I do not
feel
that you have anything to worry about in the present situation.
The Schick test was performed by one of the staff of a very
reliable hospital, and I would certainly take his reading in
this case.
The fact that Miss Evans reacted so acutely to Schick
toxin does not necessarily mean that she would also be sensitive
to horse serum in any antitoxin which she might receive at some
later date. It seems in this case that there is a mark ed
sensitivity to the protein in the Schick toxin, but this is no
indication that the same individual is sensitive to horse serum.
I hope I have made myself clear. If not, please let
me know.
The best of luck to you in your new adventure, and if
you have any more problems send them along.
Cordially yours,
DCY-RW
