Abstract

Poisoning is one of the common modes of suicide in India. Hair dye
poisoning is an uncommon form of poisoning in the west; however, in
some parts of the world such as East Africa and Indian sub-continent
it is not uncommon. The active ingredients causing toxicity includes
paraphenylenediamine (PPD), propylene glycol, liquid paraffin, cetostearyl alcohol, sodium lauryl sulfate and resorcinol. There is no specific antidote for hair dye poisoning and treatment is mainly supportive.We report a case of suicidal ingestion of hair dye that presented with angioneurotic edema and rhabdomyolysis. Our patient improved completely with symptomatic management.


Keywords: Paraphenylenediamine (PPD); Angioneurotic Edema;
Rhabdomyolysis; Symptomatic Management.
