Colchicine Poisoning in Children: 7 Case Reports

Abstract

Colchicine is a drug that has been used primarily in several diseases.Colchicine poisoning is an infrequent but potentially life-threatening problemcharacterized by multiorgan involvement. We present seven children withcolchicine poisoning. Their ages ranged between 1 and 9 years. In six children,the amount of colchicine consumed was between 0.16 and 0.39 mg/kg; themost frequent findings were diarrhea and vomiting. In one patient, the ingestedamount was unknown. One of the patients died and all others recovered withoutsequelae. The severity of colchicine poisoning tends to be related to thedosage of ingested drug and the time of admission to hospital. Symptomatictreatment should be started as soon as possible in colchicine poisoning
