A 12-year old girl developed transitory agranulocytosis 13 days after treat ment with procainamide for arrythmia was begun. The white cell count and differential returned rapidly to normal with complete clinical recovery after procainamide was discontinued. Agranulocytosis, a rare and serious complica tion of procainamide therapy, has a high mortality rate. Patients re ceiving this drug should be observed closely and followed with frequent blood counts.
