Abstract
153 chronic alcoholics were given treatment against food poisoning. 55 of them developed withdrawal syndrome, 98 had alcoholic psychosis inc luding 88 with delirium tremens. The acute intestinal infection in the se alcoholics was managed with rehydration using polyionic crystalloid solutions under controlled diuresis. Previous relief of central excit ation contributed much to a positive treatment outcome.
