Neonates presenting with intoxication syndromes and who are comatose often have neurovegetative symptoms including breathing disorders with apnea, hiccups, bradycardia, and hypothermia. Some patients may emit a characteristic scent, which can be detected in the presence of the child and during an examination of a urine, blood, stool, cerumen, or cerebrospinal fluid sample [2, 3] (Table 5.1).
