Panhypogammaglobulinaemia has recently been recognized as a rare complication of gold toxicity. We report two further cases of gold-induced hypogammaglobulinaemia which also demonstrated that monitoring of immunoglobulin levels is necessary for the early detection of this condition.

KEY WORDS: Panhypogammaglobulinaemia, Rheumatoid arthritis, Chrysotherapy
