title: [The nephrotoxicity of the methicillin-gentamycin combination. Apropos of 5 cases].
abstract: Interstitial nephritis with acute renal failure was observed in 5 cases out of 6 treated by the association of methicillin and gentamycin, wheras no case, was observed when each of these antibodies was used separately. The mechanisms which might explain the potentialisation of these two drugs are discussed.
