Nervous Complications Following Treatment by Gold Salts

Complications affecting the nervous system following treatment by gold salts are very uncommon. I can find no reference to their occurrence in the British or American literature, with the exception of a warning by Findlay' and Copeman2 that neuritis may occur, but no further details are given. Hartfall and Garland,3 I in a recent analysis of 400 cases treated by gold salts, have found various complications in 37 per cent. of their cases, but none affecting the nervous system.
