Acute Arsenic Poisoning: Clinical, Toxicological, Histopathological, and Forensic Features

Abstract: This report describes a suicide case by acute arsenic intoxication via intravenous injection. A 30-year-old woman injected arsenic As (V) (sodium arseniate disodique: Disodium Hydrogena Arsenik RP) in a successful suicide attempt. Three hours following administration, the woman developed severe digestive symptoms. She was admitted to a hospital and transferred to the intensive care unit within 12 h of the massive administration of arsenic. Despite therapeutic efforts, over the next 2 h she developed multiorgan… Show more

“…The results showed that ATO exposure increased the lung water content ratio significantly, and the degree and duration of increase were exposure concentration‐dependent. Similarly, Tournel et al () found that acute ATO poisoning causes hemorrhagic pulmonary edema. Presumably, because As is in group 15 (Va) of the periodic table, during energy metabolism, As affects the formation of high‐energy phosphate bonds, thereby hindering cell energy metabolism.…”

“…There are many Chinese patent medicines, such as Niuhuang Jiedu Wan , Jufang Zhibao San , Fufang Qingdai Pian , Angong NiuHuang San , Wansheng Huafeng Dan , among others, containing realgar [90–92]. Because they contain a large dose of realgar, these medicines showed high toxicity and obvious gastrointestinal tract irritation in clinic [93]. Replacement of realgar with RBS in prescriptions will reduce the application of realgar, leading to better control of the concentration of.…”
