TY - JOUR PY - 1998// TI - Hemodialysis following butoxyethanol ingestion JO - Journal of toxicology - clinical toxicology A1 - Burkhart, K. K. A1 - Donovan, J. W. SP - 723 EP - 725 VL - 36 IS - 7 N2 - CASE REPORT: This case report describes a 19-year-old male who ingested a product containing butoxyethanol, propylene glycol, and monoethanolamine. Neurotoxicity, acidosis, and butoxyacetic acid persisted after hemodialysis. Hemodialysis was used to treat the acidosis, but the half-life of butoxyacetic acid did not appear to have been significantly altered. Fomepizole, a recently approved alcohol dehydrogenase inhibitor for ethylene glycol intoxication, was not available at the time of this case. Residual neurological deficits persisted after recovery from this severe intoxication by a glycol ether.
