Toxic ingestion of 6-mercaptopurine by young siblings of pediatric oncology patients.
    The Journal of pediatrics, 2004, Volume: 144, Issue:5

    We report two cases of accidental ingestion of large quantities of 6-mercaptopurine (6-MP) in siblings of patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). These cases reinforce the need for thorough anticipatory guidance to families in order to prevent the incidence of potentially life-threatening accidental ingestions.
