Fatal paracetamol poisoning in an epileptic

N A Minton et al. Hum Toxicol. 1988 Jan.

Abstract

Treatment nomograms are used in paracetamol poisoning for indicating when antidotes should be given to prevent hepatic or renal damage. We report a fatal case of paracetamol poisoning in an epileptic taking phenytoin, in whom no antidotal treatment was given because it was not indicated.
