Abstract
In 11 of 15 profoundly sick, digitalized infants and children, elevation in serum digoxin concentration could be detected long after cessation of therapy. This phenomenon concurred with a rapid deterioration of renal function. Because death of a digitalized child may be attributed to the glycoside itself, it is important to recognize that elevation in serum concentration to a potentially toxic level is a common pathophysiologic pattern.
