- Abstract
A 44-year old Japanese male was transferred to the University of California Los Angeles Medical Center by helicopter in severe distress with a 2-day history of high fever, sore throat, facial swelling and blistering of the left arm, trunk and knee. The patient had been in contact with some poison oak plants in his local environment in Southern California and had developed an eruption over the left arm which did not resolve. He was treated with 30 mg. of prednisone daily with some response. The eruption recurred and several days later he was begun on prednisone again orally and an injection of intramuscular Kenalog.
