- Abstract
Poisoning with triethylene glycol has been rarely reported in humans. Triethylene glycol is thought to be metabolized by alcohol dehydrogenase to acidic products resulting in the production of a metabolic acidemia. Triethylene glycol metabolism has previously been shown to be inhibited by fomepizole (4-methyl pyrazole) administration. We report a case of triethylene glycol ingestion, presenting with a metabolic acidemia, treated with intravenous ethanol administration.
