Numerous case studies have described death following the accidental ingestion of kerosene by children (usually under the age of 5 but as old 15 years). The deaths are usually attributed to lipoidal pneumonia (Morrison and Sprague 1976 Santhanakrishnan and Chithra 1978 Zucker et al. 1986) that was probably induced by the aspiration of the kerosene. Specific respiratory effects associated with death from kerosene ingestion include pneumothorax (Mahdi 1988 Zucker et al. 1986), emphysema (Mahdi 1988), and pneumonitis (Singh et al. 1981). Cardiac arrhythmia was reported as the cause of death in one child however, it was suspected that myocarditis and pulmonary edema may have been the cause of the rapid deterioration and death of the child (Dudin et al. 1991).

In two retrospective case studies of 24 child and adult patients, Sanberg et al. (1998) and Silver et al. (2000) reported that mecamylamine (a nicotine antagonist used as an antihypertensive) in doses up to 5 mg daily significantly reduced tic severity in 22 of 24 patients, with many patients also reporting improved mood and irritability, but details of concomitant medication and duration of treatment were unclear. However, an 8 week double-blind, placebo-controlled study of 61 subjects with TS using mecamylamine at up to 7.5 mg/day as a monotherapy found no significant dif-...
