摘要
The serotonin syndrome is a potentially life-threatening drug reaction that may result from therapeutic medication use, self-poisoning, or interactions between drugs. This review explains the clinical presentations that should lead to the diagnosis, the mechanisms of toxicity, and the drugs and interactions most often implicated. Clinical management includes measures to control agitation, autonomic instability, and hyperthermia.
