Özet

Background: Severe intoxication which is induced by theophylline which is used in the treatments of broncospastic pulmonary diseases is quite rare. In literature, there is limited number of rhabdomyolysis cases induced by theophylline toxicity. The statement of disseminated intravascular coagulopathy which develops after theophylline intoxication has not been detected in the literature.
