Case Reports
Diffuse fasciculations induced by D-penicillamine
J Rheumatol.
1983 Oct.
Abstract
Diffuse fasciculations developed in a patient with rheumatoid arthritis who had received D-penicillamine for 6 months. Fasciculations disappeared after discontinuation of the drug but recurred on rechallenge. This reversible neuromuscular irritability has been reported with gold therapy but not with D-penicillamine.
