After the outbreak of COVID-19, many families equip with 75% ethanol to inactivate the SARS-CoV-2, which increases the risk of exposure to ethanol.
We reported a 25-day-old newborn who was diagnosed with neonatal acute ethanol intoxication with a presenting complaint of accidental consumption about 15 ml formula milk containing 75% ethanol. His main clinical manifestations were irritability, flushed skin, tachycardia, tachypnea, and toxicology analysis detected ethanol. After timely gastric lavage and intravenous fluid replacement, he was cured and discharged.
During the COVID-19 epidemic, high concentration ethanol used for inactivating SARS-COV-2 should be placed reasonably and neonatal feeding safety should be emphasized. Timely diagnosis and symptomatic treatment are essential for the prevention and management of acute ethanol intoxication in newborns.
COVID-19 爆发后，许多家庭配备了 75%乙醇来灭活 SARS-CoV-2，这增加了接触乙醇的风险。
我们报告了一例 25 天大的新生儿，被诊断为新生儿急性乙醇中毒，主要表现为误服约 15ml 含 75%乙醇的配方奶后出现烦躁、皮肤潮红、心动过速、呼吸急促，毒物分析检测到乙醇。及时洗胃和静脉补液后治愈出院。
在 COVID-19 疫情期间，应合理使用高浓度乙醇来灭活 SARS-CoV-2，同时应强调新生儿喂养安全。及时诊断和对症治疗对于预防和管理新生儿急性乙醇中毒至关重要。
