RESUMEN

We report a case of oral acetaminophen toxicity in a term newborn infant successfully treated with a 20 h intravenous N-acetylcysteine infusion protocol without any adverse effects. This case report supports the use of N-acetylcysteine to treat neonatal acetaminophen toxicity and highlights the need for better education of parents regarding the appropriate use and dosage of acetaminophen in newborns.
