Abstract
Case report:
A 15year old girl ingested propanil in a suicide attempt. The patient developed methaemoglobinemia, respiratory distress and decreased level of consciousness which needs intubation and paediatric intensive unit management.
Discussion:
Since the mechanisms responsible for the clinical manifestation of propanil are tissue hypoxia and methaemoglobinemia, the diagnosis and treatment of them could be lifesaving for the patient.
