TY - JOUR PY - 1990// TI - Mebendazole poisoning in infancy JO - Annals of tropical paediatrics A1 - el Kalla, S. A1 - Menon, N. S. SP - 313 EP - 314 VL - 10 IS - 3 N2 - Accidental mebendazole poisoning in an 8-week-old infant and respiratory arrest with tachyarrhythmia associated with continuous seizures is reported. Exchange transfusion was undertaken as a life-saving measure. Mebendazole, like piperazine citrate, has considerable neurotoxicity, especially in infancy, and we propose the use of exchange transfusion as a means of mebendazole elimination in infants.
