abstract="Toxicity by digitalis is a common problem in everyday clinical practice. In this paper three cases of severe poisoning with digitoxin with maximal S-digitoxin levels of 115, 150 and 239 nmol/l are described. All patients received specific digoxin Fab-fragment intravenously. Administration of antidotes resulted in a favourable outcome in all three patients. So far, the use of digoxin-specific antibodies has been limited to a few cases of severe intoxication where life-threatening arrhythmias and hyperkalaemia were present. We discuss whether a more liberal indication should be accepted.<p /><p>Language: no</p>",
