Abstract
Griseofulvin is a valuable oral antifungal drug, used extensively in the treatment of superficial fungal infections of man and animals. Electron microscopical studies of peripheral blood of toads force-fed with griseofulvin revealed pronounced alterations of the blood cells more or less similar to the criteria of monocytic leukaemia and were all comparable to those observed after the administration of the carcinogenic chemical 7,12 dimethylbenz(a)anthracene.
