Abstract
In this case report we describe the first recorded case of alveolar gas exchange impairment caused by "liquid ecstasy" ingestion, and perhaps inhalation, by a 4 year old child. The pulmonary gas diffusion disturbance was sufficiently prolonged to raise the suspicion of a direct toxic effect on the alveolar-capillary membrane.
