What are Delirium Tremens?

You have probably heard of this disorder.  Delirium tremens are caused from the withdrawal of alcohol from one’s system.  During this 3-4 day period victims may hear and see things that people around them do not.  If you are looking for physical manifestations, pay particular attention to shaking, shivering, sweating, and an irregular heartbeat.  

Alcohol withdrawal is not the only cause of delirium tremens.  They may also be caused from ceasing prolonged use of barbiturates.  When you see these symptoms it is important to rule out such abnormalities as electrolyte abnormalities, pancreatitis, and alcoholic hepatitis.  Aggressive treatment is needed for these withdrawals.
