Cyanotic crises in a breast-fed infant from mother taking dipyrone.
Cyanotic crises occurred in a breast-fed infant whose mother was under treatment with dipyrone for a sore throat. No abnormalities were found at physical and routine laboratory examinations. Dipyrone concentrations in mother's serum and milk and in infant's serum and urine were 3.3, 4.3 and 3.2, 3.74 micrograms/ml respectively. It is concluded that the adverse effect could be due to dipyrone ingested with mother's milk.
