Acetaminophen - poisoning

o Pediatrie patients younger than 5 years appear to farę better than adults after APAP poisoning, perhaps owing to a greater capacity to conjugate acetaminophen, enhanced detoxification of NAPQI, or greater glutathione Stores. However, sińce no controlled studies have supported any alternative pediatrie therapy, treatment in children should be the same as in adults.
