TY - JOUR PY - 2014// TI - Accidental poisoning with biodiesel preservative biocide JO - Hippokratia A1 - Aslanidis, T. A1 - Ourailoglou, V. A1 - Boultoukas, E. A1 - Giannakou-Peftoulidou, M. SP - 166 EP - 167 VL - 18 IS - 2 N2 - Although biodiesel fuels' use is getting more and more popular, there are only few reports in the literature of poisoning with such agents, and none referring to their preservatives: biocides. We present the management of a 49-year-old Caucasian male who was admitted, after accidental ingestion of biocide solution, in the intensive care unit of a tertiary hospital. In spite of his devastating condition upon arrival to the hospital, he had a remarkable recovery with no local or systemic sequel due to multidisciplinary and early supportive approach of his care.
