Accidental poisoning with household cleaning products can pose significant risks to children. Exposure to granular laundry detergents accounts for a number of calls each year to poison control centers, though few of these exposures result in hospitalization. While caustic gastrointestinal injury resulting from ingestion of these highly alkaline cleaning agents is well-recognized, few reports address the potential damage to the respiratory tract that can occur following ingestion or inhalation of granular laundry detergent. We present a previously healthy 1-year-old who presented to the emergency department with Late-onset stridor and increased work of breathing following presumed inhalation of granular laundry detergent. Parents, primary care providers, and emergency department physicians need to be aware of the potential toxicity of these widely used household products.
家用清洁产品意外中毒会给儿童带来重大风险。每年有许多因接触颗粒状洗衣粉而致电中毒控制中心的案例，不过这些接触案例中很少导致住院治疗。虽然摄入这些高碱性清洁剂会导致腐蚀性胃肠道损伤这一点已广为人知，但很少有报告提及摄入或吸入颗粒状洗衣粉后可能对呼吸道造成的损害。我们报告了一名此前健康的1岁儿童，在疑似吸入颗粒状洗衣粉后出现迟发性喘鸣和呼吸费力，随后被送往急诊科。家长、初级保健提供者和急诊科医生需要意识到这些广泛使用的家用产品的潜在毒性。
