Despite the abundance of reports emerging in the literature on metabolic disorders, some disorders remain undiagnosed or misdiagnosed, not only in clinical pathology but also in forensic pathology. The authors report a patient who had recurrent episodes characterized by nausea, vomiting, and signs
Clinicopathologic findings were retrospectively evaluated in 26 cats and 24 dogs with ethylene glycol intoxication. Common clinical signs were ataxia, depression, vomiting, and hypothermia. Characteristic alterations in the hemogram and serum chemical profile included neutrophilia, lymphopenia,
A 6-month-old girl was hospitalized on three occasions for irritability, vomiting, acidosis, and hypotonia. During the third hospitalization hyperglycinemia and urinary glycolic acid were detected. Ethylene glycol was discovered in the infant's blood and bottled formula. Clinicians must consider
Eight dogs with ethylene glycol intoxication were treated with 4-methylpyrazole, an alcohol dehydrogenase inhibitor. Dogs had clinical signs referable to ethylene glycol ingestion including ataxia, depression, vomiting, polyuria, and dehydration. Metabolic abnormalities included high anion gap
This is a case of a 23-year-old male presenting with altered sensorium, vomiting, and right flank pain. Despite a normal osmolal gap, he was found to be suffering from ethylene glycol intoxication. This little-described presentation can result in the clinician failing to consider ethylene glycol as
Ethylene oxide is used as a sterilizer, a solvent, a plasticizer and in the manufacture of special solvents, antifreeze, polyester resins and non-ionic surfactants. Its toxicity is caused by an alkylating reaction with most organic substances in the body. Four workers, without any protection,
OBJECTIVE
In view of high incidence and mortality due to ethylene dibromide poisoning, a prospective study was planned to assess demographic, toxicological, clinical profile and outcome.
METHODS
Prospectively collected data of sixty four patients with ethylene dibromide poisoning were reviewed. All
BACKGROUND
Ethylene glycol poisoning may pose diagnostic difficulties if the history of ingestion is not volunteered, or if the presentation is delayed. This is because the biochemical features of high anion-gap metabolic acidosis and an osmolar gap resolve within 24 to 72 hours as the ethylene
OBJECTIVE
This study evaluated the tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and preliminary antitumor activity of EZN-2208, a water-soluble poly(ethylene) glycol conjugate of SN38.
METHODS
Patients with advanced malignancies were enrolled in dose-escalating cohorts (3 + 3 design). EZN-2208 was administered
Ethylene glycol is present predominantly in antifreeze,and in industrial solvents. Accidental ingestion of ethylene glycol is relatively rare, but may be potentially lethal. It results in a depression of the central nervous system, a severe metabolic acidosis and an acute renal failure by tubular
The clinical picture as well as the principles of treatment in ethylene glycol poisoning differ with the time after ingestion. These time-related differences are illustrated by two case reports. During the first hours of ethylene glycol poisoning, the patient suffers from drunkenness, vomiting and
A 36-year-old man with a history of depression presented to the emergency department after ingesting approximately 3,000 mL of ethylene glycol antifreeze in a suicide attempt. The patient's ethylene glycol concentration, 1,889 mg/dL, was higher than any level previously documented in the medical
Brake oil is an automobile transmission fluid composed of a mixture of toxic alcohols such as ethylene glycols and glycol ethers. Both accidental and intentional ingestion cases have been reported and they can present with multisystem involvement. Life-threatening complications evolve BACKGROUND
Ethylene glycol intoxication causes severe metabolic acidosis and acute kidney injury. Fomepizole has become available as its antidote. Nevertheless, a prompt diagnosis is not easy because patients are often unconscious. Here we present a case of ethylene glycol intoxication who
We report a case of ethylene glycol (EG) poisoning complicated by central nervous system abnormalities. A long-distance truck driver aged 36 year old ingested 200ml of EG in a suicidal attempt. He was referred to our hospital from another hospital because of vomiting and altered mental status. On
