accepted 3 October 1985

Neutropenia is a potentially serious complication of parenteral benzylpenicillin administration. It is thought to occur more frequently in patients receiving infusions of stored penicillin solutions. We report three cases of neutropenia produced after bolus injections of freshly prepared benzylpenicillin. Twenty-five other cases were reviewed from the literature and the data summarized.
