TY - JOUR PY - 2020// TI - An atypical presentation of formic acid poisoning JO - Curēus A1 - Vyata, Vishruth A1 - Durugu, Satya A1 - Jitta, Sahas Reddy A1 - Khurana, Shriya A1 - Jasti, Jaswanth Rao SP - e7988 EP - e7988 VL - 12 IS - 5 N2 - Although formic acid (FA) poisoning is rare, it is usually fatal. Many FA poisoning cases commonly involve rubber plantation workers in which these workers ingest FA accidentally or with suicidal intentions. This is a case presentation of FA poisoning by a 73-year-old man. Additionally, the patient's old age likely contributed to his severe prognosis.
