Acute phenylbutazone poisoning in a child.
Accidental acute intoxication with phenylbutazone in a 2 1/2-year-old child produced an acute picture of coma, convulsions, diarrhoea, and of cholestatic jaundice which evolved over the succeeding 10 days. Transient, unexplained hyperglycaemia occurred during the first few hours of the illness. Recovery was complete within three weeks after the poisoning. Her clinical progress was monitored with the aid of regular estimations of plasma phenylbutazone levels.
