Auramine-o (Synthetic Yellow Cow Dung Powder) Poisoning: Rare but Fatal.
INTRODUCTION: Cow dung known since long ago for its germicidal properties, used by Indian villagers to clean the house premises. As cow dung is not available easily, nowadays people have started using synthetic yellow coloured powder (Auramine-o) available easily in grocery shops locally known as "Morechap powder" in districts of Maharashtra. As the poisoning is rare, very few literatures are available mentioning the detailed mechanism of action, clinical presentation and complications.
AIM AND OBJECTIVE: To study the clinical features, treatment and outcomes of synthetic yellow cow dung powder poisoning.
MATERIAL AND METHODS: 25 patients presenting with confirmed H/O consumption of (Auramine-o) synthetic yellow cow dung powder poisoning were studied. Patient's routine investigations BSL, RFT, LFT were done. CT brain was done whenever indicated.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS: Synthetic yellow cow dung powder poisoning was common in young age group and females. Vomiting, respiratory depression were common symptoms. Synthetic yellow cow dung powder poisoning was needed only symptomatic treatment. It was very rare and mortality is low when treated promptly.
