A case of combined Darvon and aspirin poisoning is presented. A phenomenon of delayed salicylism (as opposed to acute or chronic) as a result of an enteric coated preparation is described. The case illustrates the need for knowledge of not only the time of the ingestion and dose ingested, but also the type of preparation involved, before good judgements can be made.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
