title: [Delirious symptoms following bromine abuse].
abstract: Acute and chronic intoxications caused by bromides have become rare. The psychopathology of such intoxications can present with various symptoms. We report on the case of a 55-year-old man who was admitted with an acute delirium due to chronic bromide intoxication. In this context we briefly discuss clinical, psychopathological and therapeutic aspects of substance abuse and chronic bromide intoxication.
