title: [Interaction between erythromycin and carbamazepine].
abstract: A six-month-old girl receiving erythromycin was given carbamazepine treatment. Two days later signs of carbamazepine intoxication developed and a serum carbamazepine concentration of 30 mg/l was found (4-9 mg/l being the desired therapeutical level). The interaction of erythromycin and carbamazepine by liver enzyme competition is clinically significant.
