Abstract

Abstract Ingestion of copper sulphate is an uncommon mode of poisoning in the Indian subcontinent. Cases are mainly suicidal in nature. The clinical spectrum of the copper sulphate intoxicated patient is variable and often complex ranging from intravascular hemolysis, jaundice and renal failure. The treatment although is mainly supportive but recognition of severe cases like methemoglobinemia, renal failure needs early intervention. Mortality is quite high in severe cases. A comprehensive review of the clinical presentation and management of copper sulphate poisoning is performed.
