Presentación de casos clínicos RESUMENLa toxicidad serotoninérgica es un trastorno con potencial riesgo de vida asociado con un incremento de la actividad serotoninérgica en el sistema nervioso central. Se observa con el uso terapéutico o sobredosis intencional de medicamentos e interacciones inadvertidas (inhibidores selectivos de la recaptación de serotonina-isoniacida). Aunque esta patología está incrementándose, todavía no es bien reconocida por los mé-dicos y sus manifestaciones pueden ser erróneamente atribuidas a otras causas. El objetivo de este artículo es presentar un caso clínico, colaborar con el diagnóstico y mejorar el cuidado de estos pacientes. Palabras clave: síndrome de la serotonina, agentes de serotonina, isoniacida, interacciones medicamentosas. ABSTRACTSerotonin toxicity is a potentially life-threatening condition associated with increased serotonergic activity in the central nervous system. It is seen with therapeutic medication use, intentional self-poisoning and inadvertent interactions (SSRIisoniazid). Although this pathology is increasingly common, it is not well recognized by physicians and manifestations may be wrongly attributed to another cause. The aim of this paper is to describe the clinical picture of a patient, to collaborate on diagnosis and to improve medical care of these patients.
