penicillin g and Leukopenia

penicillin g has been researched along with Leukopenia in 11 studies

Penicillin G: A penicillin derivative commonly used in the form of its sodium or potassium salts in the treatment of a variety of infections. It is effective against most gram-positive bacteria and against gram-negative cocci. It has also been used as an experimental convulsant because of its actions on GAMMA-AMINOBUTYRIC ACID mediated synaptic transmission.
benzylpenicillin : A penicillin in which the substituent at position 6 of the penam ring is a phenylacetamido group.

Leukopenia: A decrease in the number of LEUKOCYTES in a blood sample below the normal range (LEUKOCYTE COUNT less than 4000).

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Cancer patients with leukopenia developing infections were treated with a combination antibiotic therapy consisting of sulbenicillin and amikacin with (B) or without (A) S-sulfonated gamma-globulin."5.05[Antibiotic therapy of infections in cancer patients with leukopenia]. ( Ezaki, K; Horikoshi, N; Ikeda, K; Inagaki, J; Inoue, K; Miyamoto, H; Nakada, H; Ogawa, M; Okada, Y; Usui, N, 1983)
"PENICILLIN TOXICITY IN THE GUINEA PIG MAY BE MANIFESTED IN SEVERAL DIFFERENT WAYS, AND IT IS PROPOSED THAT THESE TOXIC EFFECTS BE CATEGORIZED INTO THREE SYNDROMES: (1) toxic syndrome, characterized by acute fatal illness; (2) hemorrhagic syndrome, characterized by delayed illness with leukopenia and thrombocytopenia, and culminating in massive visceral hemorrhages; (3) chronic syndrome, characterized by retardation of growth and alopecia, a condition somewhat resembling "runt disease."1.25The association of viral activation with penicillin toxicity in guinea pigs and hamsters. ( Green, RH, 1974)
