Abstract

Alcohol intoxication during neonatal period and infancy is rare. Alcohol intoxication may present with hypoglycemia, acidosis, hypothermia, electrolyte disturbances, hemorrhage, cardiac arrythmia, nausea, vomiting and hepatic dysfunction. Although alcohol intoxication seems to be encountered in adult patients, it may lead to life threatening events in neonatal period and infancy. For this reason immediate diagnosis and treatment is life saving. 14- day old girl baby was taken to hospital because of drinking pure alcohol and restlessness. Physical examination was normal. Blood alcohol level was 22 mg/dl. Especially for intoxication cases encountered during infancy period, judicial report should always be documented in emergency room and child abuse should be considered. In order to prevent this type of poisoning in childhood, alcohol containing liquids should be labeled on the bottle for special precaution measures.

Özet

Yenidoğan ve süt çocukluğu döneminde alkol intoksikasyonu nadirdir. Alkol intoksikasyonu hipoglisemi, asidoz, hipotermi, elektrolit düzensizliği, kanama, kardiyak bozukluklar, bulantı, kusma ve karaciğer fonksiyon bozukluğu ile seyredebilir. Alkol intoksikasyonu sıklıkla erişkinde izlenen intoksikasyon olsa da infantlarda ve yenidoğan döneminde hayatı tehdit eden sonuçlar do- ğurabilir. Bu nedenle erken tanı ve tedavi hayat kurtarıcıdır. On dört günlük kız bebek acil polikliniğe saf alkol içme ve huzursuzluk nedeniyle getirildi. Fizik muayenesi normaldi. Kan alkol seviyesi 22 mg/dl (0,22 promil) bulundu. Özellikle süt çocukluğu döneminde saptanan zehirlenme varlığında acil serviste adli rapor mutlaka tutulmalı ve çocuk istismarı akla gelmelidir. Çocukluk çağında bu tür zehirlenmelerin önlenebilmesi için, alkol içerikli preparatların üzerinde dikkat edilmesi gereken özel durumlar belirtilmelidir.
