title: [Severe theophylline poisoning in children. Value of hemodialysis with high permeability membrane].
abstract: The authors report a massive accidental ingestion of enteric-coated theophylline (Armophilline ) by a young child. A status epilepticus and elevated theophylline serum concentration (167 mg/l) led to use hemodialysis with high dialytic clearance. The elevated clearance was obtained by the use of high permeability membrane, by bicarbonate dialysate and the best quality of vascular access (Hickman catheter).
