%X OBJECTIVE: To report a massive, 100 g ibuprofen ingestion in an adolescent, with survival. CASE REPORT: The patient developed coma, metabolic acidosis, and mild thrombocytopenia, but improved rapidly with supportive care. Renal function remained normal and no gastrointestinal bleeding occurred. CONCLUSIONS: Massive ingestion of ibuprofen may result in a variable picture with some elements of significant toxicity, but supportive care usually results in survival without sequelae.<p /><p>Language: en</p>
