Symptoms: Dizziness, Drug toxicity, Dysarthria, Gait disturbance, Laboratory test abnormal
Clinical narrative: The pt was treated with Tegretol-XR since the age of 2 yrs for partial complex seizure. Serum carbamazepine levels ranged from 4.1-13.5ug/ml. Gabazentine was added to the Tx program, which resulted in a decrease in seizure frequency. 13 days before hospitalization the pt rec'd the inactivated influenza vaccine Fluzone. On the day of admission, 13 days after vaccination the child awoke, complained of nausea and subsequently vomited. She became dizzy and slept for 3 hrs. On awakening, she was unsteady and had slurred speech. She became lethargic and poorly responsive. In  the local ER her serum carbamazepine level was 27.5ug/ml and a urine drug screen was positive for tricyclic antidepressants and cocaine. The pt was intubated, rec'd IV fluids and activated charcoal. 9 hrs after admission her carbamazepine level was 2405ug/ml, and levels continued to fall over the remainder of the hospitalization. A serum carbamazepine level 4 days after admission, was 9.1ug/ml. At her last follow up 7 months later, the pt was seizure free and asymptomatic on her former dose of carbamazepine and gabapentin. The authors considered that the influenza vaccination caused a depression of the P-450 isoenzymes which resulted in a significant rise in serum level and the observed carbamazepine toxicity. Drug toxicity NOS, drug interaction, dysarthria
