Resumen

Este estudio se refiere a 81 casos de envenenamiento por litio y muestra que las intoxicaciones deliberadas son prevalentes durante los 3 primeros años del tratamiento de litio, así como en los casos con antecedentes de intento de suicidio. En general, las intoxicaciones terapéuticas se podrían evitar por educación con respecto a la higiene y la dieta y un control cuidadoso en los casos de enfermedades intercurrentes.
