Infants And Young Children

To the Editor.— I was amazed and disappointed to read the concluding paragraph of Dr Wasserman's Letter to the Editor, `Lomotil Overdose,'1 wherein he states that Lomotil (diphenoxylate/atropine) intoxications "are rarely seen" now. The 1990 Annual Report of The American Association of Poison Control Centers National Data Collection System2 lists 1654 cases of diphenoxylate-atropine poisonings which include 1004 cases (61% approximately) involving children less than 6 years old, and two deaths. Talking about loperamide Dr Wasserman asks, "Will Imodium prove to be less dangerous to infants and young children than Lomotil? So far it seems that way."

Over The Counter

The occurrence of ipecac toxicity following chronic ipecac abuse is now well established in the medical literature, usually following self-administration by bulimic patients. In this issue of Pediatrics, Sutphen and Saulsbury1 identify chronic intentional ipecac administration by a parent to a child as another form of abuse leading to ipecac poisoning. In two prior reports (in abstract form) four additional pediatric victims who survived were identified.2,3 Additionally, a fatality following chronic ipecac administration to a 4-year-old child (again Munchausen syndrome by proxy) was reported to the American Association of Poison Control Centers 1987 National Data Collection System.4
