[Ethylene glycol poisoning].
Although an uncommon cause of death in Great Britain, ethylene glycol poisoning is potentially serious in that renal and cardiopulmonary failure and central nervous system dysfunction can occur when doses of the order of 100 ml or more are ingested. A case is described in which a child who swallowed approximately 100 ml of ethylene glycol was treated by prolonged peritoneal dialysis. In additio...
متن کاملAcute poisoning caused by ingestion of ethylene chlorohydrin.
It is thought of interest to. report a fatal case of poisoning caused by the ingestion of ethylene chlorohydrin. Cases of poisoning by this substance through the gastro-intestinal tract have not previously been recorded except for two deaths from drinking a solvent mixture containing 25% of ethylene chlorohydrin (Guithert, 1944). Ethylene chlorohydrin (glycol chlorohydrin, chloroethyl alcohol),...
متن کاملAcute oxalate nephropathy caused by ethylene glycol poisoning.
Ethylene glycol (EG) is a sweet-tasting, odorless organic solvent found in many agents, such as anti-freeze. EG is composed of four organic acids: glycoaldehyde, glycolic acid, glyoxylic acid and oxalic acid in vivo. These metabolites are cellular toxins that can cause cardio-pulmonary failure, life-threatening metabolic acidosis, central nervous system depression, and kidney injury. Oxalic aci...
متن کاملCurrent management of ethylene glycol poisoning.
Ethylene glycol, a common antifreeze, coolant and industrial solvent, is responsible for many instances of accidental and intentional poisoning annually. Following ingestion, ethylene glycol is first hepatically metabolised to glycoaldehyde by alcohol dehydrogenase. Glycoaldehyde is then oxidised to glycolic acid, glyoxylic acid and finally oxalic acid. While ethylene glycol itself causes intox...
متن کاملEthylene glycol poisoning and lactate concentrations.
We were interested to read the article by Manini et al. (1), which confirmed previous observations that a severe ethylene glycol poisoning may lead to falsely elevated lactate levels (2). High lactate levels were indeed measured by enzymatic spectrophotometry (Integra analyzer) but excluded by a specific GC analysis. A linear correlation was nicely demonstrated between the serially determined b...
