Multiple organ dysfunction syndrome: infection or hypersensitivity reaction
European Journal of Emergency Medicine, 10/12/09

The authors describe the case of a 6–year–old boy admitted with anticonvulsant hypersensitivity syndrome after the association of lamotrigine treatment with sodium valproic acid for reluctant epilepsy.
