abstract="In 1991, three cases of anaphylactoid reactions among vaccinators of farmed fish were registered in Norway. The reactions developed after repeated accidental self-injection of vaccine against salmon furunculosis. In 1991, some 60 million salmon were vaccinated against furunculosis at approximately 50 grams body weight. Following such self-injection of vaccine, inflammatory reactions are seen in the injected finger, also spreading occasionally to the hand. More seldom a &quot;flu&quot; like syndrome with fever, muscle aches, and general malaise is experienced probably caused by endotoxins in the vaccine. Devices to protect the fingers against accidental self-injection have been developed and, so far, the results are promising.<p /> <p>Language: no</p>",
