Accidental actinomycin D overdosage in man, a case report

I A Choonara et al. Cancer Chemother Pharmacol. 1988.

Abstract

Although actinomycin D is a relatively old cytotoxic agent, relatively little is known about its toxicity in man in comparison with some of the newer cytotoxic agents that have been extensively investigated. We wish to describe a case where an overdose of actinomycin D was inadvertently administered.
