[Lithium intoxication].

Lithium intoxication has a low prevalence, the 75% of patients with treatment with lithium could have toxic levels of lithium during the treatment. Asymptomatic patients have been observed with doses under 2.5 mmol/L. Systems with high prevalence of symptoms are the nervous system, gastrointestinal tube and cardiovascular. Symptoms could appear from two hours to four hours after ingestion. Early hours after lithium ingestion, levels of lithium are not related with severity. However, monitoring seric levels is necessary to lead therapeutic approach and to give a prognosis. Induce urine with isotonic solution, is used during therapeutic approach. Other therapeutic option is dialysis. In summary, intoxication with lithium could be a severe situation. It is necessary to describe therapeutic protocols in this entity.

[Narcolepsy and alopecia areata: a new association?].

We here present three cases with Alopecia Areata and Narcolepsy, an association we believe to be hitherto undescribed. Narcolepsy is a low-frequency (0.5%) disorder. It is now accepted that the majority of patients with narcolepsy are DR2 positive. Alopecia Areata is a disease whose incidence in Caucasian population is between 0.05% and 1%. In both diseases there is a set of common data and the origins of the two diseases have been related to an autoimmunity mechanism. In both, a higher than normal incidence of diabetes has been recorded, together with a predominant HLA type pattern. We believe that this association is not casual although epidemiological studies are needed to test our working hypothesis.
