Irritating to eyes, skin and respiratory tract.
After invading the body, it is mainly metabolized in the liver and quickly excreted. The main target organ is the liver, and the kidney is also damaged to a certain extent, and it is moderately poisoned.
clinical picture
Acute poisoning usually occurs 6 ~ 12 hours after respiratory inhalation; Skin invasion, the incubation period can be longer, and there are reports of poisoning after skin burns are basically healed. For subacute poisoning cases, the time from exposure to onset is 2 ~ 4 weeks.
Clinical features:
Irritation symptoms: DMF vapor has mild and moderate irritation to eyes and upper respiratory tract.
Skin: Contaminated skin can cause mild to severe burns, wrinkled skin, pale face and burning sensation. In severe cases, it can make the skin swell, and in severe cases, it can burn.
Eyes: polluted eyes cause burning pain, tears and conjunctival congestion; Severe cases can cause corneal necrosis.
Gastrointestinal symptoms: patients often have loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, abdominal discomfort and constipation, and a few cases have upper-middle abdominal pain.
Liver: In acute poisoning, liver damage is often prominent. The patient has obvious fatigue, swelling and pain in the right upper abdomen, discomfort, jaundice, gradually enlarged liver and tenderness. The routine examination of liver function is abnormal, among which the serum transaminase is obviously increased. The lesions are generally not serious, and can be gradually relieved after treatment, and the condition can be fully recovered within a few weeks.
Severe acute poisoning: severe toxic liver disease, and occupational poisoning is rare. Contact with high concentrations, especially those with serious skin pollution, should be alert to serious poisoning.
Life poisoning: There was once a patient with chronic ulcerative colitis who used DMF enema as a therapeutic drug and caused liver disease. The condition gradually worsened, similar to subacute hepatic necrotizing hepatitis, and hepatic coma occurred within 2 weeks, with a dangerous prognosis.
Special risk: patients with liver diseases of various reasons are sensitive to DMF.
