Carbon monoxide poisoning has been reported as a result of exposure to various sources of smoke, such as car exhaust fumes, home water heaters and tobacco smoke. We describe a case of symptomatic, moderately severe carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning in a young Mediterranean man after smoking a waterpipe, or shisha. This case highlights the importance of considering carbon monoxide exposure in patients presenting with non-specific neurological symptoms to the emergency department (ED).
据报道，接触各种烟雾源，如汽车尾气、家用热水器和烟草烟雾，可导致一氧化碳中毒。我们描述了一名年轻的地中海男性在吸食水烟后出现有症状的中度严重一氧化碳（CO）中毒的病例。该病例凸显了在急诊科（ED）对出现非特异性神经症状的患者考虑一氧化碳暴露情况的重要性。
