Fulminant polyneuritis after overdose of disulfiram and ethanol.

J F Rothrock, P C Johnson, S M Rothrock, R Merkley.   

Abstract

A 39-year-old woman developed a severe sensorimotor polyneuritis after simultaneous ingestion of ethanol and disulfiram in high doses. The disorder was similar to other cases of disulfiram neuropathy, but was acute and more severe. Disulfiram can cause a fulminant polyneuropathy that is not always benign and reversible.
