title: [Iatrogenic ergotism. Responsibility of an ergotamine tartrate-erythromycine propionate association (author's transl)].

The authors recall the danger of such associations in patients with hepatic failure, the value of early diagnosis, and the possible use of nitroglycerin for suppressing the vascular spasm.
