To the Editor.— The recent review of theophylline intoxication by Sahney et al,1 was of interest to us because of our experience with patients with high theophylline blood levels but without symptoms. Five patients were seen; one patient [Figure, A(1), A(2)] had a second ingestion.

The article by Shapiro et al1 wherein a nomogram relating daily theophylline dose requirements to single serum levels appears to us either misleading or in error. According to our calculations, the upper and lower limits depending on K = 0.07 to 0.5 hr-1 would give a value with no units: dose (mg/kg/day) = K x V x 24 hr x 10 µg/ml = 0.07 liter/hr x 0 ...

The adverse effects of theophylline were recognized soon after its introduction into clinical medicine. Reports of major toxic reactions to theophylline, particularly in children, discouraged its use and led to homeopathic dosing recommendations that had little therapeutic effect.

Theophylline has been a popular medication for asthma for over 50 years. However, the introduction of newer pharmacologic agents, concern about the toxicity of theophylline, and recommendations in widely disseminated guidelines have recently contributed to its decreased use.

Are Phosphodiesterase 4 Inhibitors Just More Theophylline?
Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, 2006 Theophylline has been relegated to a second- or even third-line therapy in the treatment of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), behind glucocorticosteroids and beta(2)-agonists, although recent findings have suggested that ...

For over 50 years, theophylline has been used regularly for the management of chronic asthma. However, because of its perceived narrow therapeutic index and the fact that it has been considered a weak bronchodilator, the use of theophylline therapy has diminished.

Three cases of theophylline poisoning in young children, two of which occurred after erroneous administration of commonly prescribed pediatric drugs, are presented. The possible association of hyperglycemia and ketoacidosis with severe theophylline toxicity is discussed.

To the Editor.— The conclusions in the recent letter by Kossoy et al1 and the reply by Sahney2 regarding the original report3 suggesting conservative treatment of high theophylline levels until neurologic signs are present do not adequately consider the high frequency of mortality and serious neurologic sequelae once theophylline-induced

Journal of Dialysis, 1978
We have shown that theophylline is highly dialysable with an average dialysis clearance of 76 ml/min approaching 63% of urea clearance with hemodialysis. Implications include dose adjustment during dialysis and efficacy of dialytic technique in the treatment of theophylline intoxication.

Theophylline toxicity continues to be a commonly encountered clinical problem. Patients may present with a vast array of toxic manifestations, including life-threatening cardiovascular and neurologic toxicity. Despite the considerable attention this topic has received in the literature, there remain some important controversies regarding the ...
