Abstract
Summary: A 20-month-old girl who accidentally ingested a large amount of laxative tablets containing strychnine, was successfully treated with diazepam. Diazepam seems to be the drug of choice in strychnine poisoning, because of its excellent anticonvulsant properties combined with its wide margin of safety.
