One of the symptoms of a monoclonal antibodies allergy is a severe rash. This is an adverse skin reaction that may appear as hives, red patches or widespread redness on the body, and may be accompanied by itching.
Individuals with an allergy to monoclonal antibodies may experience difficulty breathing. This can manifest as shortness of breath, coughing, wheezing, or a tightening sensation in the chest.
Swelling is also a common symptom of a monoclonal antibodies allergy. This can occur in various parts of the body, such as the face, lips, tongue, or throat, and may interfere with breathing if severe.
Abdominal pain is another symptom that can be indicative of a monoclonal antibodies allergy. This discomfort can range from a mild, persistent ache to severe, sharp pain, and may also be accompanied by nausea or vomiting.
Dizziness, a feeling of unsteadiness or loss of balance, may also occur in individuals who are allergic to monoclonal antibodies. In severe cases, this could lead to fainting.
A monoclonal antibodies allergy can also result in a fever. This is an elevated body temperature, typically over 100.4°F (38°C), that can be accompanied by chills, sweating, and a general feeling of malaise.

Recognize Monoclonal Antibodies Allergy Symptoms
Monoclonal antibodies allergy, often known as an infusion reaction, may cause immediate or delayed symptoms, which include the following:
Seek Medical Attention
If you have these symptoms after you have received monoclonal antibody treatment, seek immediate medical attention. You could be experiencing an allergic reaction. Your medical team will ask about your symptoms, assess their onset and pattern, and they might perform an allergy test. The allergy test, along with your symptoms and medical history, helps them to confirm if you have an allergy to monoclonal antibodies.
Note About Usual Side Effects
It's important to differentiate between usual side effects and an allergic reaction. Usual side effects can include fever, nausea, or fatigue. These can be common with monoclonal antibodies treatment but do not indicate an allergy. If you encounter unusual severe symptoms such as those stated above, you could be having an allergic reaction.
Identifying Monoclonal Antibodies
Monoclonal antibodies are used in various treatments, especially in different types of cancer and autoimmune diseases. They are typically administered through IV injection. Knowing the medications and treatments you are receiving can help you distinguish if monoclonal antibodies are part of your treatment plan.
