Abstract

As paediatricians we are often reminded of the importance of correct marking and storage of drugs to prevent accidental intoxication. We report on a patient who developed typical signs of central and peripheral anticholinergic syndrome within a few hours after intake of atropine through her nose. Clinical presentation and treatment are described. Children with fever, Down's syndrome or convulsive disorders seem to be particularly sensitive to atropine.
