N2  - The accidental or intentional ingestion of urine sugar reagent (Clinitest) tablets, a potent caustic, has been reported to cause severe esophageal mucosal damage and stricture formation. Gastric mucosal damage was reported once before in a man who intentionally ingested 26 Clinitest tablets. We encountered a case of accidental Clinitest tablet ingestion causing gastric and duodenal ulceration without esophageal damage, a previously undescribed complication of inadvertent Clinitest tablet ingestion. Our case reemphasizes the role of early fiberoptic endoscopy in the evaluation of caustic ingestions.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>
