Abstract

We have presented two cases of salicylate poisoning that demonstrate fluid retention in the face of adequate hydration, resembling the syndrome of inappropriate secretion of ADH. These cases necessitated marked alterations from normal fluid therapy. Mannitol was found to be an effective, albeit transient, diuretic for treating the acute symptoms associated with fluid retention, but only strict fluid restriction resulted in a prompt and satisfactory diuresis.
