Abstract
Drug-alcohol interactions in patients who present to emergency departments with a severe "disulfiram-like" illness (including vomiting, diarrhea, 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 aware of this potential interaction.
