TI  - Death by "ecstasy": the serotonin syndrome?
PG  - 377-80
AB  - "Ecstasy" or 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA) is a popular drug of abuse 
      and is generally regarded as safe by the lay public. There are an increasing 
      number of reports of MDMA-induced toxicity that exhibit features of the serotonin 
      syndrome. We report a case of severe hyperthermia, altered mental status, and 
      autonomic dysfunction after a single recreational ingestion of MDMA.
