title: [New acute poisoning syndromes of drug origin].
abstract: The slow but constant modifications of the pharmacopeia and prescribing habits are at the origin of changes in the causes of intoxications by medications, which are reflected in the syndromes observed in daily practice. New syndromes have appeared: serotoninergic syndrome, adrenergic syndromes, toxic malignant hyperthermia, opioid toxic syndrome, intoxication by drugs with membrane-stabilizing effect. Recognizing these syndromes is not only useful to determine the possible causes of on intoxication, but also to direct appropriate, specific therapeutic interventions.
