Article Abstract
In this report, we describe a unique case of an 80-year-old woman who developed chronic bromine poisoning due to the prolonged ingestion of over-the-counter (OTC) medication containing bromovalerylurea (BVU), thus leading to the onset of drug-induced partial Fanconi syndrome and resultant osteomalacia. The patient's condition improved following the cessation of bromide intake.
