摘要

樟腦油是常見的外用藥物與防蟲用品，雖然它被認為是沒有毒性的天然產物，但樟腦油中毒的報告並不少見。本報告的案例因服用500ml的樟腦油而出現少見的中毒症狀，如低體溫、肺水腫、腎衰竭等，病人於住院第二天死亡。

Camphorated oil is usually applied externally as a topical analgesic, anti-infective, rubefacient, and antipruritic agent. Although it is considered a natural product with negligible toxicity, camphor poisoning has been documented, especially in children. Common symptoms include headache, vomiting, agitation, hallucinations, and convulsions. We report an 84-year-old woman who ingested a large amount of camphor oil in a suicide attempt and presented to our emergency department with hypothermia, miosis, junctional bradycardia, acute pulmonary edema, and acute renal failure. She died of dysrhythmia and profound shock on the second day of hospitalization.
