Pine oil cleaner ingestion can cause gastrointestinal and central nervous system issues, particularly in children. While acute hydrocarbon pneumonitis is possible, pine oil cleaner poisoning is rarely life-threatening and typically requires minimal care.

Area of Science:

  • Toxicology
  • Environmental Health

Background:

  • Pine oil cleaner ingestion is a potential cause of poisoning.
  • Understanding the toxic effects and clinical outcomes is crucial for patient management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the clinical manifestations and outcomes of pine oil cleaner ingestion.
  • To identify risk factors and complications associated with pine oil cleaner poisoning.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective case series of 22 patients hospitalized for pine oil cleaner ingestion.
  • Clinical data including symptoms, signs, and treatment outcomes were analyzed.

Main Results:

  • Common symptoms included mucous membrane and gastrointestinal irritation.
  • Ataxia was frequent in children but absent in adults.

  • Central nervous system depression occurred in 59% of patients, with three progressing to coma.
  • Acute hydrocarbon pneumonitis developed in 3 of 5 children and 3 of 17 adults.
  • Pneumonitis recovery was rapid and complete; no fatalities occurred.

    • Conclusions:

    • Pine oil cleaner ingestion can lead to significant toxicity, including CNS depression and pneumonitis.
    • Children are more susceptible to neurological effects like ataxia.
    • Despite potential complications, pine oil cleaner poisoning is generally not life-threatening and requires supportive care.
