A conductor needs to be a component of a path that creates a closed loop or full circuit to have a continuous current flowing through it. A current starts to flow if an electric field is created inside an isolated conductor that is not part of a full circuit. The conductor quickly develops a net positive charge at one end and a net negative charge at the other. These charges generate an electric field opposite the direction of the applied electric field, which reduces the current. Eventually,...

Skin is the first line of defense and encounters a variety of microbes. Some pathogenic strains are often the cause of a broad range of infections of the skin and other body systems. These conditions can affect people of all ages and may have different causes, including genetic factors, infections, autoimmune reactions, environmental factors, and lifestyle choices.
Gram-positive Staphylococcus spp. and Streptococcus spp. are responsible for many of the most common skin infections. However, many...

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Gastroenterology
  • Dermatology
  • Toxicology

Background:

  • Lithium battery ingestion is a known cause of gastrointestinal and ENT injuries.
  • Previous reports have focused on internal mucosal damage.
  • Cutaneous manifestations of battery ingestion remain largely uncharacterized.

Observation:

  • A 16-month-old female presented with a diaper ulcer.
  • The ulceration was directly attributed to a swallowed lithium battery.
  • The child had no history of gastrointestinal or ENT lesions.

Findings:

  • This case represents the first documented instance of lithium battery-induced skin ulceration.
  • The mechanism of skin injury likely involves chemical burns or pressure necrosis from the battery.
  • The absence of internal lesions suggests localized external contact or a unique metabolic response.

Implications:

  • Clinicians should consider battery ingestion in cases of unexplained skin lesions, particularly in young children.
  • This finding expands the spectrum of potential injuries associated with lithium battery ingestion.
  • Further research is warranted to understand the pathophysiology of cutaneous battery-induced injuries.
