Chemical Burn Due To Formic Acid: Case Report

Year 2012, Issue: 1, 69 - 71, 01.03.2012

Abstract

Formic acid is an organic acid which is used in industry and agriculture with increasing rates. Formic acid burns cause tissue damage with coagulation necrosis. Systemic toxicity findings, such as acidosis, hemolysis and hemoglobinuri can occur in formic acid burns. In this paper, we aimed to review the treatment of chemical burns with a case of facial formic acid burn

Formik Asit’e Bağlı Kimyasal Yanık: Olgu Sunumu

Year 2012, Issue: 1, 69 - 71, 01.03.2012

Abstract

Formik asit sanayide ve giderek artan oranda tarımda kullanılan bir organik asittir. Kuagulasyon nekrozu oluşturarak doku hasarı oluşturur. Formik asit yanıklarında asidoz, hemoliz, hemoglobinüri gibi sistemik toksisite belirtileri gelişebilir. Biz bu yazıda formik asite bağlı yanık olgusunu sunarken kimyasal yanıklara yaklaşımdan kısaca bahsedeceğiz
