Abstract

A 19 months child was accidentally poisoned by ingestion of "eau écarlate", a gasoline-based cleaner. He died half an hour later with an acute pulmonary necrosis, caused by inhalation of gasoline. The authors describe the toxicity of petroleum poisoning and attempt to edict standards for medical transportation of children with petroleum accidental absorption.
