Case Report - Rhabdomyolysis due to hair dye poisoning: An emerging threat
Rhabdomyolysis can be caused by a variety of physical,chemical,
metabolic, infective and toxic causes. We present two patients who
developed rhabdomyolysis after consumption of hairdye containing
paraphenylene diamine. Both of them developed renal, liver and
respiratory failure requiring renal replacement. We were able to save
one patient whereas the other died. Intentional hair dye poisoning is
an emerging threat. Early recognition of the complications and prompt
treatment is necessary for a successful outcome
