Yılmaz-Topal Ö, Tuygun N, Akça H, Polat E, Karacan CD. Cetirizine and albendazole induced dystonia in a child. Turk J Pediatr 2015; 57: 407-408.Drug-induced dystonic reactions are a common presentation to the Pediatric Emergency Department frequently with antiemetics, antidepressants, dopamineblocking agents and antipyschotics. We report a case of generalized form of dystonia after taking albendazole and cetirizine. There is only one case with albendazole induced and two cases with cetirizine induced dystonia in the literature.
