Abstract

Salicylate poisoning can result in severe morbidity and mortality. The clinical presentation is correlated with the dose, and duration of exposing, as well as with the age of patient. Severe toxicity appears over the dose of 300 mg/kg. Early diagnosis and management can reduce the mortality rate to %15 in severe toxicity. We report a 17 years old adolescent male who admitted to the hospital with severe salicylate intoxication resulting from 415mg/kg salicylate intake for suicidal purpose. The aim of this case report is to discuss in highlights of salicylate intoxication with the clinical presentations and treatment approaches based on the case.

Özet

Salisilat zehirlenmesi, şiddetli morbidite ve mortaliteye neden olabilir. Klinik şiddeti, alınan salisilat dozuna, süresine ve hastanın yaşına bağlıdır. Ağır toksisiteden bahsedebilmek için, salisilatın 300 mg/kg'ın üzerinde alınması gereklidir. Ağır salisilat zehirlenmesinde erken tanı ve tedavi, mortaliteyi %15'e kadar azaltmaktadır. Bu sunumda, intihar amaçlı yaklaşık 415 mg/kg salisilat alan, 17 yaşında adölesan erkek hastanın klinik bulgularının dinamik tedavi yaklaşımı ve literatür verileri eşliğinde tartışılması amaçlanmıştır
