Drug-Induced Hepatotoxicity and Protection

To the Editor.— We wish to report a case of an accidental ingestion of clonidine from a transdermal patch by a 9-month-old baby. A.M., a 9-month-old boy, was seen in a local emergency room six hours after he had accidentally mouthed a transdermal clonidine patch. A.M.'s father had applied a 2.5-mg transdermal clonidine patch to his left wrist under his watch ten to 12 days earlier for BP control. The night before the incident, the father had removed his watch.
