Abstract
Our case dealt with an alcohol intoxication of a 6 years and 2 months old girl (asphyctical stage). The blood alcohol level was 4.98‰ It was caused by child abuse whereby the father forced his daughter to drink a cup of Brandy. The therapy of this severe alcohol intoxication consists of treatment of shock, warming, mechanical ventilation after cessation of spontaneous respiration and for a quicker elimination of the blood alcohol peritoneal dialysis was performed during a period of 18 h.
