Accidental self-injection with Freund's Complete Adjuvant (FCA) caused severe granulomatous inflammation. Treatment with corticosteroids and chloroquine led to a good recovery, highlighting FCA injection hazards.

Area of Science:

  • Immunology
  • Dermatology
  • Toxicology

Background:

  • Freund's Complete Adjuvant (FCA) is an emulsion commonly used in research to induce immune responses.
  • Accidental exposure to FCA can occur in laboratory settings, posing potential health risks.

Observation:

  • A research worker experienced a severe granulomatous inflammatory reaction in her right hand and forearm after accidental self-injection with FCA.
  • The reaction manifested as significant inflammation and tissue damage.

Findings:

  • Prompt treatment with corticosteroids and chloroquine resulted in a positive clinical outcome and resolution of inflammation.
  • The case underscores the potential severity of FCA-induced inflammatory responses.

Implications:
