This report describes the case of a 13-year-old boy who suffered severe burns with inhalation injury during the recreational use of gasoline. Gasoline sniffing is a popular form of solvent abuse for young children and adolescents in isolated, rural communities. In addition to the neurological and physiological complications of gasoline inhalation, gasoline sniffers face the significant threat of severe burn injury or death resulting from ignition of the gasoline vapor as well as from extensive physical contact with the constituents of liquid gasoline.
本报告描述了一名13岁男孩的病例，该男孩在娱乐性使用汽油时遭受严重烧伤并伴有吸入性损伤。在偏远的农村社区，嗅吸汽油是幼儿和青少年滥用溶剂的一种常见形式。除了吸入汽油带来的神经和生理并发症外，嗅吸汽油者还面临着因汽油蒸汽着火以及与液态汽油成分广泛接触而导致严重烧伤或死亡的重大威胁。
