@entity1 @entity1955 @entity4968
@entity1955 (LT), T4, @entity4968 is rarely associated with a severe outcome. However, cases with significant complications have been reported. The aim of this study was to identify factors associated with symptoms of @entity4968 including late-onset symptoms. All enquiries to the Danish Poison Information Centre (DPIC) concerning @entity4968 between March 2007 and September 2012 were reviewed and the following parameters were recorded: age, dose, time from ingestion, multiple drug intake and symptoms. To evaluate the frequency of late-onset symptoms, a subgroup of @entity1 without initial symptoms were contacted. A total of 181 @entity1 were registered (112 @entity1 ). Ingested LT dose ranged from 10 to 9000 mcg (median 275 mcg). A total of 29 of 181 (16%) @entity1 were symptomatic at the time of enquiry, and there was no difference in ingested LT dose between asymptomatic and symptomatic @entity1 , neither in @entity1 nor in adults (age 16-92  years) (p  <  0.68 and p  <  0.47, respectively). In total, 153 of 181 (85%) @entity1 did not have symptoms of @entity4968 at the time of enquiry; however, in 9 of 21 (43%) @entity1 , we were able to contact, late-onset symptoms existed. In none of the cases, hospital contact was needed and there were no reports of long-term sequelae. Acute @entity4968 often follows a benign course. The occurrence of symptoms appears not to be dose dependent. Late-onset symptoms seem to be common. However, all symptoms resolved spontaneously without need of medical care.
