COVID-19 pandemic is one of the most devastating worldwide crises in recent years. During this pandemic, people have been exposed to products that have not been proven to be safe and effective against COVID-19. We present an adult chronic consumer of chlorine dioxide, in which a fatal outcome is described. This case demonstrates that for people searching products to protect themselves from COVID-19, unregulated access to industrial disinfectants represents a dangerous alternative. To date, there is no scientific evidence to uphold the use of chlorine dioxide or chlorine derivatives as preventive or therapeutic agents against COVID-19. Researchers and general population must take into consideration the fatal possible consequences of not following communications and warnings from health authorities and government institutions.
新冠疫情是近年来全球最具破坏性的危机之一。在这场大流行中，人们接触到了未经证实对新冠病毒安全有效的产品。我们报告了一例慢性二氧化氯摄入者，该患者出现了致命结局。该病例表明，对于那些寻找产品以保护自己免受新冠病毒侵害的人来说，不受监管的工业消毒剂的获取代表了一种危险的替代方案。迄今为止，尚无科学证据支持将二氧化氯或其氯衍生物用作预防或治疗新冠病毒的药物。研究人员和普通民众必须考虑到不遵守卫生当局和政府机构的通讯和警告可能带来的致命后果。
