Abstract
A four-year-old girl presented with accidental ingestion of 200 tablets of Calcarea phosphorica. Although she was asymptomatic, she was found to have marked hypocalcaemia with a prolonged QTc interval on electrocardiogram. She was successfully treated with intravenous calcium, followed by oral maintenance.
