Mystery Rash
I can empathize with Deborah Kaplan and her experience with sulfa drugs ["Chickenpox? No, Worse," Sept. 4]. In the mid-1940s, sulfa drugs were considered a lifesaver for many wounded in World War II. They were in short supply, so when I contracted strep throat during this time, I considered myself fortunate to take them. My strep throat disappeared, but within a few days I was covered with bumps from head to toe. This may have been an allergic reaction. With the vast array of other treatments available now, sulfa drugs shouldn't be used, since about 10 percent of the population can have an adverse reaction to them.
