BAL is an effective chemical antidote for arsenic poisoning. We have reported our observations after its use in treating 42 children who ingested this poison. During this experience, we have noted a number of side effects; with proper doses, none of these seemed serious. Recommendations have been made concerning applications of this drug, which should prove useful in one of the common pediatric emergencies.
