Results and discussion
Any other information on results incl. tables
RS-Freetext:
A case of severe burn with undiluted formic acid is
reported. In the beginning, the dermal injury seemed to be
of minor degree, but then the patient, a 15-year-old girl,
developed signs of systemic formic acid intoxication,
including metabolic acidosis, intravascular hemolysis and
hemoglobinuria. These signs were similar to those described
as a result of formic acid ingestion. The burn turned out
mainly to be full-thickness, resulting in major scarring.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number.
