Abstract
AbstractWe present the case report of a 47‐year‐old man fatally poisoned by ingestion of a home‐distilled liquor produced from ‘methylated spirits’ containing 5% methanol and 90% ethanol. Classical signs of severe methanol poisoning, including altered conscious state, shock and profound acidosis were manifest at the time of presentation. Despite an ethanol infusion and haemodialysis he was declared brain dead 36 h after arrival at the emergency department.
