Water intoxication causes hyponatraemia, which is responsible for the neurological dysfunction by causing intracellular overhydration. Symptoms may occur if the serum sodium concentration is less than 120 mmol/l, but the degree of brain dysfunction corresponds with the rapidity of development of the hyponatraemia.

متن کاملMefenamic acid-induced bullous pemphigoid.
A 52 year old man developed bullous pemphigoid, Coombs' positive haemolytic anaemia and diarrhoea related to the use of mefenamic acid. Clinical manifestation of the bullous pemphigoid, haemolytic anaemia and diarrhoea resolved following discontinuation of the mefenamic acid.
