Article Synopsis
- Paraphenylenediamine, a key ingredient in hair dyes, can cause severe toxicity after ingestion or skin contact, leading to significant morbidity and mortality, particularly affecting the liver and heart.
- An observational study on 50 patients found that factors like elevated liver enzymes, delayed treatment, and low pH were associated with worse health outcomes, with 22% of patients suffering severe complications or death.
- Supportive care is the main treatment for this poisoning, as there is no specific antidote; recognizing risk factors can improve patient management and outcomes.
