Serotonin syndrome, a potentially fatal iatrogenic complication of psychopharmacologic therapy, is most commonly reported with combinations of serotonergic medications. Serotonin syndrome is characterized by alterations in cognition, behavior, autonomic, and central nervous system function as a result of increased postsynaptic serotonin receptor agonism. We present the first reported case of serotonin syndrome after a single dose of fluvoxamine in a pediatric patient after ingestion of a single supratherapeutic dose of fluvoxamine.

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 6. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 21 February 2025.
All research outputs
#7,600,801
of 34,457,357 outputs
Outputs from Annals of Emergency Medicine
#3,446
of 8,325 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#12,410
of 54,603 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Annals of Emergency Medicine
#12
of 29 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 34,457,357 research outputs across all sources so far. This one has received more attention than most of these and is in the 73rd percentile.
So far Altmetric has tracked 8,325 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 16.5. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 53% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 54,603 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 61% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 29 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 51% of its contemporaries.
