Hypothermia: an unusual side effect of paracetamol.

T Van Tittelboom1, M Govaerts-Lepicard.   

Abstract

We report 4 cases of children who presented hypothermia after normal therapeutic doses of paracetamol. Possible mechanisms of the antipyretic action of paracetamol are reviewed in an attempt to explain this rather exceptional description. Comparison is made with other cases in the literature and the experiences of other Poison Control Centers.
