Letters to the Editor

LAURENCE FINBERG M.D.

We would wholeheartedly agree with the comments made by Dr. Bongiovanni. Perhaps though, his last sentence should be amplified further and emphasized a bit. We should not like to leave the reader with the impression that following acute ingestion of salicylate one can be adequately reassured by finding a single level of salicylate in the blood below 35 mg/100 ml; the dose ingested, the amount removed by emesis on lavage, and the time of determination all bear critically on the interpretation of the level.
