A 6-year-old boy presented with status epilepticus within 10 min of accidental ingestion of 10 ml of Eucalyptus oil. He had eight episodes of tonic-clonic convulsions which were controlled with intravenous (i.v.) phenytoin and valproate. There was no previous history of seizures.His Kidney function tests (KFTs), Liver function tests (LFTs), blood sugar, and serum calcium were normal.His electroencephalogram (EEG) showed spikes. Child improved tremendously within 20 h and was discharged.

Snake bites are important medical emergencies in clinical practice. Viper bite envenomation classically comprise of local cellulitis, coagulopathy and nephrotoxicity. Cardiovascular manifestations are rarely reported which usually include non-specific ECG changes.We report 12 year old boy who developed shock and myocarditis following viper envenomation along with coagulopathy and kidney injury.Keywords

Previously healthy child presenting with coma, hypotension and respiratory depression is challenge to the treating clinician. The wide availability of anticonvulsants increases the risk of overdose, may be intentional or accidental. Adequate history taking is very important to clinch the diagnosis. The clinical spectrum of carbamazepine poisoning may range from drowsiness to profound coma with respiratory failure. Cardiotoxicity is rare, presents primarily as conduction disturbances. Here with we report a 14 year old boy who presented with coma, respiratory depression, hypotension and cardiac involvement. The diagnosis of carbamazepine toxicity was revealed only after adequate history taking and toxicology screening.Keywords
