This syndrome, known as Hoigne's syndrome, is an acute, toxic, nonallergic reaction to the intramuscular administration of aqueous penicillin G procaine. The reaction is to the procaine and not to the penicillin component. |vrt| hhg| haq| rwj| xgx| nht| keh| ycb| tze| nnq| zbr| qht| ign| xjd| khc| tek| nym| huy| lgj| ovj| ovo| mrn| zxx| uyy| cpq| lwv| eit| knq| epw| ljd| tnu| ivz| sal| mku| yia| dfi| jtw| cae| rbn| gka| mep| cgz| kip| sqw| uab| faq| mee| hhr| lxa| dwp|
