Overview

We are reporting a case of the acute intoxication by sodium fluosilicate (Na₂SiF₆) in a 27-year old patient after using 3–4 teaspoons of the white powder of the Na₂SiF₆. One and half hour after consuming the powder the patient was admitted to our department, where the organ dysfunction occurred within 6 hours and resulted in death. The dose of poison used by the patient corresponds with the data referred in literature as the lethal dose (Na₂SiF₆ over 5–10 grams or 70–140 miligrams/kg of body weight orally).

Key words:
acute fluorine intoxication – sodium fluosilicate (Na₂SiF₆) – hydrofluoric acid (HF) – calcium – organ dysfunction
