Abstract
THE value of procaine amide hydrochloride in the treatment of various cardiac arrhythmias, particularly those of ventricular origin, has been well established. Attention has been called to certain undesirable side effects of the drug, including occasional hypotension after its intravenous administration and nausea, vomiting, mental confusion and profuse sweating attending its oral use.1 2 3 Recently, Leibowitz4 and Bakos and Askey5 have described striking febrile reactions in patients given procaine amide orally. It is the purpose of the present report to describe another case of drug fever due to procaine amide hydrochloride.Case ReportH. B. a 57-year-old man, was admitted to . . .Keywords
