ABSTRACT Automatic‐dishwasher detergent is a common household substance which is extremely corrosive and potentially fatal if ingested. In this report, we discuss the implications of the ingestion of automatic‐dishwasher detergent in 18 children over a three‐year period. Ten of the 18 children gained access to the automatic‐dishwasher detergent from the dishwasher on the completion of a washing‐cycle, while the remainder ingested the detergent directly from the packet. There was a poor correlation between the presenting signs and symptoms and the subsequent endoscopic findings in the 14 children who underwent endoscopy. |
