J P Faller, and G Simon, and L Rodier, and J P Cazenave

A 75 year old man, treated with ajmaline, was admitted with malaise, fever, acute renal failure and cholestatic jaundice. Haemolytic anaemia and thrombocytopaenia were also found with a positive indirect Coomb's test in the presence of ajmaline. The immunological and haematological data are discussed in the light of previously published cases.
