Colchicine Poisoning Cases in a Pediatric Intensive Care Unit: A Twenty-Year Study
Conclusions
Colchicine poisoning has a high risk of mortality, and death can be seen in doses less than a single acute dose of 0.5 mg/kg. These patients need close monitoring because there is always a risk of them to require aggressive support. Prognosis is poor in patients who have rapidly developing hemodynamic failure.
