Abstract
We report a case of long lasting respiratory depression after intravenous administration of morphine to a 7 year old girl with haemolytic uraemic syndrome. The plasma concentrations of the active metabolite M6G were more than 10 times those normally seen and the half‐ lives of M6G and morphine were prolonged.This publication has 25 references indexed in Scilit:
