Caustic Burns Affecting Multiple Systems
Journal Title: Çocuk Acil ve Çocuk Yoğun Bakım Dergisi - Year 2019, Vol 6, Issue 1
Abstract
Poisoning with corrosive and caustic substances is still one of the most common poisonings in childhood due to the fact that household cleaning products are sold in easily accessible packages for children in our country and families do not take adequate safety precautions to keep household chemicals out of sight and reach of children. We present a case of caustic poisoning affecting multiple body systems.
