  • Title: [Acute poisoning of an infant by cutaneous application of a local counterirritant and pulmonary antiseptic salve].
    Author: Dupeyron JP, Quattrocchi F, Castaing H, Fabiani P.
    Journal: Eur J Toxicol Environ Hyg; 1976; 9(5):313-20. PubMed ID: 1010000.
    Abstract:
    The case of acute poisoning reported here raises the question of the harmlessness of preparations destined for cutaneous application in infants. After describing the method perfected for the identification and estimation of camphor, menthol and thymol in biological material, the authors present the toxicological, clinical and biological arguments in favour of the notion that the cutaneous resorption of these substances was responsible for this acute intoxication in an infant. Particular attention should be paid to poisoning which may result, in the newborn and infant, from the cutaneous application of active substances.
