Abstract
Vasomotor reactions after administration of gold sodium thiomalate (GST) are well recognized, but such reactions have not been reported to occur in association with oral gold treatment. We describe a woman with rheumatoid arthritis who experienced typical nitritoid reactions after treatment with GST, and later, with auranofin.
