Abstract

The increasing use of lithium in the treatment of manic-depressive disorder raises the risk of poisoning, either by mismanagement of treatment or by accident. The authors report on the prodromes, clinical pictures, and outcomes of eight cases of lithium poisoning in Denmark and present their conclusions concerning prevention and therapy.
