RAISED PLASMA ALUMINIUM IN AN INFANT ON ANTACID

SIR,-Dr d’Orban (Sept 16, p 694) rightly draws attention to the unsatisfactory state of the law with respect to steroid-induced psychosis as a defence for criminal activity, but is not quite accurate in stating that there is only one other publication on this matter. A 45-year-old man has been reported! who, following treatment with prednisolone 30-60 mg daily for severe ulcerative colitis, was convicted of shop lifting despite clear evidence of a steroid-induced psychosis.
