Altered consciousness, nausea, vomiting and dizziness were the common initial symptoms. The major clinical findings in the ICU were somnolence, coma, miosis, mydriasis, bradycardia, respiratory failure requiring mechanical ventilation, and hypo and hyperthermia. Blood glucose level was increased significantly in three cases and urinary output was increased in two. The length of stay was between 2 and 5 days.
