Propylene Glycol Poisoning From Excess Whiskey Ingestion

Propylene Glycol Poisoning From Excess Whiskey Ingestion

Acute ethylene glycol poisoning after intentional ingestion

Background: We describe a case of acute ethylene glycol poisoning following ingestion of antifreeze agent in which serum ethylene glycol and anion gap were serially measured. Patients: A 66-year old man was hospitalized after intentional ingestion of automotive antifreeze. Upon admission, vital signs, mental status, and neurological functions were normal. Initial laboratory tests revealed no se...

Positive propylene glycol result in a patient with ethylene glycol poisoning.

A 61-year-old man presented with an increased anion-gap metabolic acidosis, an increased serum osmolal gap, and a negative result in an alcohol screen. Gas chromatography revealed an increased ethylene glycol (EG) concentration (22 mg/dL) and a propylene glycol (PG) result that was below the lower limit of quantification ( 5 mg/dL) (Fig. 1A). The patient was treated with hemodialysis, followed ...

Severe Poisoning After Accidental Pediatric Ingestion of Glycol Ethers

Human glycol ether poisonings are sparsely reported in the medical literature. We describe a healthy 22-month-old boy who accidentally drank up to 330 mL of brake fluid containing a 75% bleed of various glycol ethers (5%–50% polyethylene glycol monomethyl ether, 15%– 40% triethylene glycol monoethyl ether, 1%–30% triethylene glycol monomethyl ether, 1%–25% triethylene glycol monobutyl ether, 1%...

Severe poisoning after accidental pediatric ingestion of glycol ethers.

Human glycol ether poisonings are sparsely reported in the medical literature. We describe a healthy 22-month-old boy who accidentally drank up to 330 mL of brake fluid containing a 75% bleed of various glycol ethers (5%-50% polyethylene glycol monomethyl ether, 15%-40% triethylene glycol monoethyl ether, 1%-30% triethylene glycol monomethyl ether, 1%-25% triethylene glycol monobutyl ether, 1%-...
