摘要
A patient who sustained a major burn following abuse with Ecstasy and Whizz is described. His progress was complicated by hyperpyrexia, acute renal failure and convulsions, all of which have been recently recognized as potential side-effects of Ecstasy abuse. This report further highlights the dangers of substance abuse.
