Abstract EN
Cresol is a phenol derivative used as a disinfectant that may cause gastrointestinal corrosive injury, central nervous system, cardiovascular disturbances, renal, and hepatic injury following intoxication.
We present a case of a female patient who was admitted to the emergency department after ingesting an unknown amount of cresol; she was admitted with tachypnea, shortness of breath with low oxygen level in the blood.
She did not develop hepatic or renal dysfunction.
The gastrointestinal endoscopy was performed and showed esophagus and gastric erosins only.
The patient was sedated and ventilated for 7 days.
After receiving supportive intensive care, the patient recovered and was sent for psychiatric evaluation.
Cresol intoxication can be fatal, and cause a respiratory failure with an acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), hepatic, and renal injury.
This shows the importance of intensive care in the management of cresol poisoning.
