The patient with theophylline overdose commonly presents with gastrointestinal, cardiovascular, neurologic, and electrolyte abnormalities. Respiratory alkalosis is the most common acid-base alteration, but mild metabolic acidosis has been reported. Two cases of severe lactic acidosis (pH 6.67 and 6.63) in patients without hypoxemia, shock, or prolonged seizure activity are reported. Possible causative mechanisms and aspects of therapy are discussed. Theophylline toxicity should be considered when an unconscious patient with concurrent severe metabolic acidosis presents to the emergency department.
