摘要
A case of leukopenia secondary to procaine amide therapy in a 70-year-old woman is reported. Although either leukopenia or agranulocytosis is rare in patients taking this drug (widely used in the treatment of ventricular arrhythmias), periodic blood counts should be made to preclude the development of agranulocytosis, which can be fatal. © 1969 The American Geriatrics Society.
