Popis: We hereby describe a case report of a 9-month-old girl, who was accidentally intoxicated with digoxin since her parents by mistake gave her digoxin instead of propranolol. At admission sinusbradycardia and a first-degree atrioventricular block was found and she was treated with antidigitalis Fab-fragment and atropine. After three days of hospitalization she was discharged well-being. We suspect that the explanation for this intoxication is due to confusion of bottles of magistral preparations of medicine, as they were very identical. Therefore we call for increased attention in children receiving this type of medicine.
