abstract="Lindane has been reported to cause central nervous system (CNS) toxicity including seizures after prolonged dermal contact and also after acute ingestions. Despite safer alternatives, lindane still remains a commonly used agent in the treatment of scabies and pediculosis. We present three cases of acute toxicity after the inadvertent oral administration of lindane in three siblings. A 17-month-old female suffered a single seizure. A 3-year-old male was listless, nauseated, pale, and had decreased responsiveness to verbal and tactile stimulation. A 4-year-old female became nauseated and required bag-valve-mask ventilation for hypoventilation. The three patients all recovered without sequelae.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
