N2  - Copper sulphate toxicity is a rare event in the US but it is commonly used as a form of suicide in India. It is commercially available and found in products of fungicides, insecticides, and is used in whitewashing, leather manufacture and to bind colors to fabrics. However, the pathophysiology of acute copper intoxication is not well understood and its management has not been established. Here a case of suicidal ingestion of copper sulphate in a young male is presented along with a brief description about the management and literature review regarding copper sulphate poisoning.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>
