TY - JOUR PY - 2015// TI - Acute Pneumonitis Induced by Intravenous Thinner Injection in a Case of Suicidal Attempt JO - Journal of The Korean Society of Clinical Toxicology A1 - Lee, Hae-Ji A1 - Choi, Byung-Ho A1 - Kim, Mi-Jin A1 - Hong, Jung-Seok SP - 33 EP - 35 VL - IS - N2 - A 24 year-old man attempted suicide by injection of 1 cc of thinner into his left antecubital vein; 3 hours later, he visited our emergency room because of left chest pain. We suspected a chemical pneumonitis based on the abnormal findings of his chest X-ray and computed tomography. On the 3rd day after admission, a cellulitis also occurred at the injection area. His symptoms were relieved after supportive care for 2 weeks. There is significant experience with intoxication of thinner inhalation, whereas intoxication of intravenous thinner is rare.
