Auranofin-induced vasomotor reaction.
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.
