Abstract

A case of severe metabolic acidosis and coma after taking 28 g of nalidixic acid is described. After administration of 600 mEq of sodium bicarbonate the patient developed a respiratory alkalosis with secondary tetany. She recovered her state of consciousness nine hours later and the acid-base disturbance resolved after sixty hours.
