Resumo: Two patients developed a Guillain-Barre-like syndrome and a third suffered neuropathy and myokymia during therapy with sodium aurothiomalate. The cumulative dose at the time of development of neuropathy was different in all 3 cases. Evidence for gold toxicity was suggested by clinical, electromyographic, and histologic findings, as well as the disappearance of symptoms and signs on cessation of gold injections.
