A case of systemic allergic‐type vasculitis after the administration of quinidine and digoxin is described. The renal biopsy findings are unique in that they describe an arteritis with eosinophilic infiltration and non‐caseating granulomata. We believe quinidine is the antigen that was responsible for the reported findings.
