| Popis: | We describe the case of a 36-year-old male who presented to hospital with acute respiratory distress, and hemoptysis after intravenously injecting 20 milliliters of pure gasoline. Despite maximum supportive care he died without a definitive diagnosis 4 hours after presentation to the hospital. Postmortem examination confirmed diffuse pulmonary hemorrhage as a cause of death. Our case highlights the key clinical, and pathological features of this very rare poisoning with a volatile substance and reminds clinicians to consider it as a potential cause of hemoptysis and pulmonary hemorrhage. |
