title: Ethanol poisoning.
abstract: A 3-year-old boy with severe ethanol poisoning metabolised ethanol more rapidly than expected (0.33 g/l/hour or 7.16 mmol/l/hour) and recovered fully with conservative management. It is concluded that active elimination techniques are unnecessary for most children with acute ethanol poisoning.
