Acute renal failure following naphthalene poisoning.
Many cases of naphthalene and naphthalene poisoning are reported in literature since the introduction of naphthalene in 1841 by Rossbach as an internal antiseptic in typhoid fever and an anthelminthic in 1842. Today, naphthalene poisoning occurs in suicidal attenipts, or accidental ingestion by children. Naphthalene’s relative insolubility in water and its poor absorption from the gut underesti...
متن کاملAcute naphthalene poisoning following the non-accidental ingestion of mothballs.
Ingestional naphthalene mothball poisoning leading to prolonged haemolysis and methaemoglobinaemia can present with diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. A 19-year-old woman ingested 12 mothballs, and presented two days later with haemolysis and methaemoglobinaemia. She was treated with red blood cell transfusions, intravenous methylene blue, N-acetylcysteine and ascorbic acid. Continuous veno...
متن کاملSevere haemolytic anaemia due to ingestion of naphthalene (mothball) containing coconut oil.
Naphthalene, a widely used industrial and household chemical, has rarely been an agent of poisoning worldwide. Severe haemolysis from naphthalene poisoning is rare and can be a challenge to clinicians. We report a 22-year-old female, who accidentally ingested naphthalene mixed coconut oil and got admitted with recurrent vomiting, headache and passage of dark urine. Severe intravascular haemolys...
متن کاملDevelopment of a Fluorescence-Based Sensor for Rapid Diagnosis of Cyanide Exposure
Although commonly known as a highly toxic chemical, cyanide is also an essential reagent for many industrial processes in areas such as mining, electroplating, and synthetic fiber production. The "heavy" use of cyanide in these industries, along with its necessary transportation, increases the possibility of human exposure. Because the onset of cyanide toxicity is fast, a rapid, sensitive, and ...
متن کاملA rhamnolipid biosurfactant reduces cadmium toxicity during naphthalene biodegradation.
A model cocontaminated system was developed to determine whether a metal-complexing biosurfactant, rhamnolipid, could reduce metal toxicity to allow enhanced organic biodegradation by a Burkholderia sp. isolated from soil. Rhamnolipid eliminated cadmium toxicity when added at a 10-fold greater concentration than cadmium (890 microM), reduced toxicity when added at an equimolar concentration (89...
