This case report adds to the existing literature regarding toxicokinetics of IV APAP in infants. Our patient had a calculated ke of 0.263 h-1, correlating with a half-life of 2.63 hours. Based on current available data, the half-life of IV APAP in infants varies (2.6 to 4.9 hours). The reason for this variation is unknown and further research is needed in this area.
