Enuresis is a common benign condition that affects up to 10 percent of school children. Innumerable causes have been proposed: emotional disturbances, small bladders, infections, allergies, polyuria and deep sleep. In an effort to modify abnormal sleep, drugs such as amphetamine or imipramine are frequently prescribed. Imipramine is often very effective but its acute toxicity is not fully appreciated by many patients or their parents. Since accidental imipramine overdose is a serious matter, strict rules regarding its storage and use must be enforced.
遗尿症是一种常见的良性病症，影响着多达10%的学龄儿童。人们提出了无数种病因：情绪障碍、膀胱过小、感染、过敏、多尿和深度睡眠。为了改善异常睡眠，经常会开一些药物，如苯丙胺或丙咪嗪。丙咪嗪通常非常有效，但许多患者或其父母并未充分认识到它的急性毒性。由于丙咪嗪意外过量服用是一件严重的事情，必须严格执行关于其储存和使用的规定。
