Abstract
Drug-alcohol interactions in patients who present to emergency departm ents with a severe ''disulfiram-like'' illness (including vomiting, di arrhea, flushing, tachycardia, and hypotension) must be recognized and treated appropriately. We report a case of such an interaction caused by oral griseofulvin and alcohol. Emergency physicians should be awar e of this potential interaction.
