Copper Sulfate Drowning: A Case Report

Cases of copper sulfate poisoning are rarely reported with a higher mortality rate. Herein, we reported a middle-aged man who had a copper sulfate drowning accident at work, resulting in airway damage, respiratory failure, intravascular hemolysis, hemolytic anemia, impaired liver function, and skin and conjunctival damage. After the rapid and effective treatments, including plasma exchange, irrigation under tracheoscopy, blood transfusion, liver and kidney protection and chelation therapy, the patient finally recovered and was discharged from hospital.
