TY - JOUR PY - 1995// TI - Accidental atropine poisoning. Anticholinergic syndrome in a child after intranasal overdose JO - Tidsskrift for den Norske Laegeforening A1 - Jelstad, A. A1 - Hirth, A. SP - 3030 EP - 3031 VL - 115 IS - 24 N2 - 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.
