[Transient bisalbuminemia induced by penicillin and gentamicin. Immunoelectrophoretic study and thorough examination of bibliography (author's transl)].

: The Authors report a case of transient bisalbuminemia due to the administration of large doses of penicillin and gentamicin. Cellulose acetate electrophoresis showed an abnormal fraction of normal albumin. The IEB showed a better result. Transient bisalbuminemia may indicate saturation of albumin sites with beta-lactamines, requiring interruption of therapy. The Authors point out the utility of IEB in disclosing this alteration induced by antibiotics.
