Delayed Neurologic Sequelae Resulting from Epidemic Diethylene Glycol Poisoning

Abstract: Unrecognized DEG poisoning may present with metabolic acidemia and anuric acute renal failure. Established renal impairment may predict subsequent delayed neurologic toxicity.

“…The acute short-and long-term adverse health effects of exposure to DEG are not well established. To the authors' knowledge, no detailed follow-up information on outcomes of DEG-poisoned patients exists, other than a brief report on a case series of five patients [5]. Of these five, three were severely ill on presentation, and one died shortly thereafter.…”

“…Of these five, three were severely ill on presentation, and one died shortly thereafter. The remaining two had improved neurologic function at 4-6 months after presentation, but remained dialysis-dependent and displayed persistent neurologic deficits at 26 months [5]. Considering the large number of potentially exposed individuals, it is conceivable that there might be a large future DEG-associated disease burden in the Republic of Panama.…”
