Eucalyptus oil (EO) intoxications are rare. We present a case of 58 yrs old chemist, who due to intense delusions consumed 4-5 drops of concentrated EO in order to self-medication of ascariasis. Despite the low dose of ingested xenobiotic the course of poisoning was severe. The intoxication was complicated with acute lung and heart injury, tachycardia and hypertension. Most of the clinical symptoms and biochemical abnormalities disappeared after the treatment.
桉叶油中毒较为罕见。我们报告一例58岁的化学家，因强烈妄想为自我治疗蛔虫病而服用了4 - 5滴浓缩桉叶油。尽管摄入的外源性毒物剂量较低，但中毒过程严重。中毒并发急性肺和心脏损伤、心动过速和高血压。治疗后大多数临床症状和生化异常消失。
