Presumptive Secondary Ethylene Glycol (Antifreeze) Toxicity in a Turkey Vulture (A Case Report)
نویسندگان
چکیده
A presumptive diagnosis of secondary ethylene glycol toxicity in a female Turkey vulture (Cathartes aura) was made depending on the histopathological changes found in the renal tubules and presence of Isospora spp. of non-avian type within the colon. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported case of possible secondary ethylene glycol toxicity in a Turkey vulture in Louisiana State/USA.

Ethylene glycol, methanol, and diethylene glycol are readily available in many household and commercially available products. While these alcohols are relatively nontoxic themselves, their acidic metabolites are toxic and can result in significant morbidity and mortality. Herein we report a lethal case of massive ethylene glycol ingestion in a suicide with a record high level (1254 mg/dL) and i...
متن کاملEthylene glycol, hazardous substance in the household.
Ethylene glycol is a colorless, odorless, sweet-tasting but poisonous type of alcohol found in many household products. The major use of ethylene glycol is as an antifreeze in, for example, automobiles, in air conditioning systems, in de-icing fluid for windshields, and else. People sometimes drink ethylene glycol mistakenly or on purpose as a substitute for alcohol. Ethylene glycol is toxic, a...

Although occupational uses of the high production volume (HPV) chemical ethylene glycol (EG) have not been associated with adverse effects, there are case reports where humans have either intentionally or accidentally ingested large quantities of EG, primarily from antifreeze. The acute toxicity of EG can proceed through three stages, each associated with a different metabolite: central nervous...
