June 15, 2024
Abstract

Black Phenyl is widely used as a germicide in homes, hospitals, offices and other places for cleaning of floors and other surfaces. Due to its easy availability suicidal attempts by its ingestion is increasingly being reported. Often considered to be of little consequences, phenyl poisoning can be life threatening as it contains a mixture of coaltar acids and phenolic compounds which can result in death due to respiratory or cardiovascular failure within a few hours. Rarely it can result in HemolyticAnemia due to Intravascular Hemolysis following inhalation, ingestion or absorption of phenyl through skin. Here we report a case where a 20 years old female patient developed severe Intravascular Hemolysis after consuming around 50 ml of black phenyl.
