Abstract

Unintentional poisoning from liquid fuels accounts for approximately 2.5% of all unintentional poisoning exposures among children aged <6 years. The risk for unintentional poisoning increases when fuel is transferred from its original container, often with required child-resistant packaging, to other containers (e.g., fuel lamps) without special packaging requirements. This report describes the poisonings of four children who were admitted to a regional referral medical center in Columbus, Ohio, during a 2-week period in August 1997; these children developed serious pulmonary complications after ingesting household lamp oil.

摘要

液体燃料导致的意外中毒约占6岁以下儿童所有意外中毒事件的2.5%。当燃料从通常带有儿童安全包装的原装容器转移到没有特殊包装要求的其他容器（如燃油灯）时，意外中毒的风险会增加。本报告描述了1997年8月的两周内，四名儿童在俄亥俄州哥伦布市一家地区转诊医疗中心就诊的中毒情况；这些儿童在摄入家用灯油后出现了严重的肺部并发症。
