Malignant hyperthermia in infancy.
We have described two infants, aged 2 months and 5 months, who had malignant hyperthermia, an entity not generally believed to occur during infancy. Both children were under general anesthesia when MH occurred, and both responded well to administration of dantrolene and sodium bicarbonate.
