TY - JOUR PY - 1999// TI - Recurrent acute life-threatening events and lactic acidosis caused by chronic carbon monoxide poisoning in an infant JO - Pediatrics A1 - Foster, M. A1 - Goodwin, S. R. A1 - Williams, C. A1 - Loeffler, J. SP - e34 EP - e34 VL - 104 IS - 3 N2 - Acute severe carbon monoxide poisoning is usually easy to recognize and diagnose. However, chronic or less severe exposure may produce more subtle symptoms. We report on a 31/2-year-old girl who was admitted to the hospital several times with acute, life-threatening events, acidosis, and flu-like symptoms. The diagnosis was elusive, but after careful questioning of family members and a home visit, chronic carbon monoxide poisoning was diagnosed.
