Late-Onset Delirium After an Overdose of Acetaminophen in a Case of Benzodiazepine Dependence

Furthermore, delirium was prolonged for a long period of time in elderly patients and dementia patients;2 however, there are no reports similar to this case, in which withdrawal delirium from BZD continued for a total of 40 days, combining the first and second episodes, in a relatively young patient with no underlying physical disorders. [...]we believe that the lethal dose of acetaminophen intoxication caused the second delirium. Because acetaminophen intoxication can cause delirium, clinicians should pay attention to side effects other than its liver dysfunction.
