A case of fatal xylenol ingestion by a long-stay mental hospital patient is described. The clinical course was similar to that observed in other phenolic poisonings with active bowel sounds, nausea and vomiting, severe metabolic acidosis, hypotension and cardiac and renal failure. The formulation of xylenol ingested contains alcohol which would facilitate absorption; due to the dangers of such poisonings care must be exercised as to access and exposure to xylenol sterilising agents.
本文描述了一例长期住院的精神病院患者因摄入二甲苯酚致死的病例。临床过程与其他酚类中毒相似，表现为肠鸣音活跃、恶心呕吐、严重代谢性酸中毒、低血压以及心脏和肾衰竭。摄入的二甲苯酚制剂含有酒精，这会促进吸收；鉴于此类中毒的危险性，在使用二甲苯酚消毒剂时必须注意其获取途径和接触风险。
