TY - JOUR PY - 1979// TI - Ethanol ingestion in children. A five-year review JO - JAMA journal of the American Medical Association A1 - Ragan, F. A. A1 - Samuels, M. S. A1 - Hite, S. A. SP - 2787 EP - 2788 VL - 242 IS - 25 N2 - A five-year review at ethanol ingestions in children at Charity Hospital of Louisiana at New Orleans, revealed nine cases with blood ethanol levels in excess of 21.7 mmole/L (100 mg/dL); none resulted in death. We describe four patients in whom the blood ethanol levels were potentially life-threatening. In one case, we were able to follow the affected child's blood ethanol level serially; the rate of decrease was about twice that reported for an adult.
