Abstract

A number of cases of copper sulphate poisoning from the southern region of Bangladesh are presented. There was a high mortality (24.9%) in comparison to other forms of poisoning. Hepatotoxicity, acute renal failure and gastrointestinal bleeding were the main complications. This degree of copper sulphate poisoning in one particular area is cause for alarm.
