Abstract

We report accidental ecstasy poisoning in an 11-monthold boy. Case report: the infant at the parental home accidentally ingested ecstasy had neurological disorders such as behavioral disorders made of agitation and tonicoclonic convulsions, muscle hypertonia, cardiovascular disorders (tachycardia). The other causes of seizures quickly eliminated you such as hyperpyretic seizures, head trauma, and meningoencephalitis. The search for toxins in the blood, my urine and gastric juice was positive with a high concentration for methamphetamine. The evolution was favorable after 48 h of respiratory assistance under sedation. Comment: Intoxications in children with ecstasy are rare, but currently is reported several cases of accidental ingestion of tablets. Ecstasy reserved for festive events; its use seems to extend to the home of users. The presence at home of this derivative of amphetamine, exposes young children to accidental ingestion by negligence of tablets left within their reach.
