Résumé

We describe a case of disulfiram-ethanol reaction in a patient presenting with altered mental status. The patient was found to be profoundly hypotensive, requiring multiple vasopressor agents. As the symptoms associated with disulfiram reaction are non-specific, it is important to maintain a high level of suspicion for drug reaction when caring for the undifferentiated altered and hypotensive patient.
