Neurologic and Cardiovascular Complications in Pediatric Life Threatening XXXX Poisoning.

@entity1 @entity308 @entity16 @entity3157 @entity591 @entity2645
We present an 18-month @entity1 with @entity2645 poisoning to illustrate the neuro-cardiac toxic effects of this potentially deadly poison in @entity1 . The toddler ingested an unknown amount of @entity2645 from a non-childproof bottle which clearly labelled that the drug must be kept out of reach from @entity1 . He developed @entity16 . Electrocardiography (ECG) showed @entity591 and widened QRS. He was immediately treated with @entity3157 infusion and made an uneventful recovery. This is the youngest and only reported case of symptomatic @entity2645 ingestion in our locality. @entity2645 has been surpassed by newer antidepressants for the treatment of @entity308 in the past decade. Literature is searched to review the mortality rate in young @entity1 . Intensive care neuro-cardiac support contributes to the favorable outcome. Despite clear labelling of the bottle, carelessness on the part of the adult and the use of non-childproof bottle are definite preventable factor to such potentially fatal ingestion.
