TOXIC PSYCHOSIS RESULTING FROM PENICILLIN

Abstract
A toxic psychosis is reported in an 18 yr. old female, resulting from large doses of combined oral and intramusc. penicillin therapy. A severe generalized urticarial reaction preceded the psychotic manifestations. All symptoms subsided promptly with the use of pyribenzamine therapy. No previous cases of toxic psychosis from penicillin have been reported.
