摘要
Methanol poisoning continues to be a serious problem in Iran; however, there is not yet any report of the prevalence of methanol intoxication. This report is a descriptive study of methanol intoxication in Iran. We performed a cross-sectional analysis of 51 patients with methanol intoxication who were admitted to Noor Hospital affiliated with Isfahan University of Medical Science (Isfahan, Iran) from January 2000 to December 2009. Characteristics of the participants, including age, sex, amount of methanol ingestion, exposure type, time from ingestion to presentation, and patient outcome, were recorded. There were 51 patients (84.3% male and 15.7% female; mean age: 32.5 +/- 15.2 and 20.1 +/- 7.5 years, respectively). Of the patients, 13.7% were under 20 years in age, 51% were from 20 to 29, 11.8% were from 30 to 39, and 23.5% were above 40. Four patients died, 15 survived with late complications, and 32 survived without any complications. There are a growing number of patients presenting with acute poisonings in Iran. Early diagnosis and treatment is necessary to prevent long-term complications.
