    • Prompt and appropriate medical intervention is crucial for managing PCP toxicity and preventing severe complications.

    Observation:

    • A case report details a 2 1/2-year-old boy who presented in a comatose state due to acute phencyclidine poisoning.
    • The patient exhibited symptoms consistent with PCP intoxication, necessitating intensive supportive care.

    Findings:

    • Successful treatment was achieved through comprehensive supportive measures, including fluid management, diuresis, secretion control, seizure management, and respiratory support.
    • The child demonstrated a complete recovery over a ten-day treatment period.

    Implications:

    • This case highlights the effectiveness of aggressive supportive care in managing acute phencyclidine poisoning in pediatric patients.
    • It underscores the importance of early recognition and intervention to ensure favorable outcomes and prevent long-term sequelae in childhood PCP toxicity.
