Abstract
Summary: In spite of intensive therapy, an otherwise fit 34‐year‐old man died following the hyperpyrexial reaction to an interaction between tranylcypromine and clomipramine. There was no evidence of drug overdose, but severe disseminated intravascular coagulation developed which proved fatal.Keywords
