متن کاملThe Role of Hemodialysis and Fomepizole in Ethylene Glycol Intoxication
Ethylene glycol is one of the most common toxic alcohol ingestions requiring hemodialysis for treatment. With the FDA approval in 1997 of fomepizole (4-methylpyrazole), the indications for hemodialysis in addition to fomepizole for ethylene glycol poisoning have been examined in recent articles and case reports. Fomepizole, a competitive inhibitor of alcohol dehydrogenase, binds to the same sit...

Fomepizole (4-methylpyrazole; Antizol) is used increasingly in the treatment of methanol toxicity in adults. Little experience exists with this drug in the pediatric population, however. We present a case of methanol poisoning in a child in whom the use of fomepizole averted intravenous ethanol infusion and the attendant side effects of this therapy.
