“…It is required for survival and serves as an important catalytic cofactor in redox chemistry for proteins that carry out fundamental biological functions that are required for growth and development [1]. The average intakes of copper by human adults, vary from 0.6 to 1.6 mg/d [1][2][3][4][5]and the main sources are seeds, grains, nuts, and beans (concentrated in the germ and bran), shellfish and liver. Drinking water does not normally contribute significantly to intake.…”

Background Copper sulfate is a bright blue crystal used primarily for agricultural purposes, as a pesticide, disinfectant, feed, and soil additive. Acute volunteer poisoning of copper sulfate is not common in the world and in Iran. Case presentation We reported the case of a 15-year-old girl who presented to the emergency department after ingestion of an unknown amount of copper sulfate following a struggle at school. She had become acquainted with the toxic compound through school textbooks. On admission to the hospital, she had abdominal pain and a sore throat with a normal serum copper level. The patient stated that she had three episodes of bluish vomiting. She underwent symptomatic treatment and was monitored for 3 days. The outcome was favorable, and she had no signs and symptoms of organ failure. Conclusions As a result, copper sulfate poisoning depending on the consumed dose can be mild or very severe with a high mortality rate. The authors discuss the various pathogenesis and treatments of this rare poisoning by reviewing the available literature.
