Abstract
The accidental ingestion of 474 mg. of Benadryl by a 2-year-old child resulted in cyanosis, convulsions, cardiorespiratory depression, hyperthermia, and death. Autopsy findings were similar to those of heat stroke with petechial hemorrhages and cerebral edema. No specific antidote for Benadryl toxicity has been developed; symptomatic measures are discussed.
