  • Title: [Acute cyanide poisoning in an infant].
    Author: Haasnoot K, van Vught AJ, Meulenbelt J, Bergman LR.
    Journal: Ned Tijdschr Geneeskd; 1989 Sep 02; 133(35):1753-6. PubMed ID: 2797290.
    Abstract:
    An infant of 9 months was admitted to hospital in comatose condition; cyanide poisoning was suspected. This poisoning was caused by the desorption of hydrocyanic acid from building materials after the house had been fumigated with hydrocyanic acid under strict supervision and observed safety measures. Administration of 4-dimethyl-aminophenol, a methaemoglobin inducer, and sodium thiosulphate together with supportive measures, led to complete recovery of the infant, although the general hypotony persisted for a few weeks.
