Abstract

Acute alcoholic withdrawal is a common clinical problem, and delirium tremens is its most severe form. Symptoms of withdrawal must be evaluated carefully and treated aggressively. The severity of the withdrawal syndrome cannot always be predicted on the basis of quantity or duration of alcohol ingestion. Sedation must be handled with extreme care, and special attention to fluid and electrolyte balance is of the utmost importance.
