Popis:	Serotonin syndrome (SS) is an underrecognized and potentially fatal disorder that occurs secondary to combinational use or overdose of a single serotonergic medication. The presentation may be complicated by hepatic encephalopathy in cirrhotic patients, which may also affect metabolism of these serotonergic agents. The authors report a rare case of severe SS complicated by hepatic encephalopathy secondary to cirrhosis in a 52-year-old woman after an increase in her home dosage of fluoxetine and addition of other psychiatric medications.
