Abstract

Camphor ingestion led to status epilepticus in a 20-month-old girl who required intubation and ventilation. She was treated with intravenous valium and phenobarbitone, and nasogastric activated charcoal. She made a complete neurological recovery. A number of products containing a high concentration of camphor were found to be available in the local community.
