Three infants aged 1, 3 and 9 months with severe theophylline intoxication are reported. Maximum serum theophylline concentrations were 65, 44 and 156 mg/l, respectively. Vomiting, agitation and tachycardia are the classical features. Seizures and cardiac arrhythmias suggest severe intoxication. The third patient underwent immediate peritoneal dialysis. All patients survived and recovered without sequelae. Haemoperfusion is considered to be the definite treatment for severe forms of theophylline intoxication.

The incidence of this previously rare disorder, cocaine-associated agitated delirium, appears to have increased drastically within the last 18 months. The underlying neurochemical abnormalities have recently been characterized, but most clinicians have had little experience with management of agitated delirium. The basic clinical and pathological features of this disorder are reviewed, and common pitfalls in diagnosis and management that frequently lead to needless but very expensive litigation are discussed.
