Abstract
A patient receiving once-daily gentamicin experienced shaking, chills, and rigors. This adverse reaction has occurred in patients around the country a t many different institutions. Although the etiology is thought to be media ted by higher than normal endotoxin levels in one product, other possibilit ies must be explored.
