Aluminum phosphide (AlP) poisoning and glucose?6?phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency are two common clinical problems in Iran. However, hemolysis associated with AlP poisoning is extremely rare. We report a 24-year-old G6PD deficient patient with AlP poisoning presenting with intravascular hemolysis.

Abstract


Aluminum phosphide (AlP) poisoning and glucose?6?phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency are two common clinical problems in Iran. However, hemolysis associated with AlP poisoning is extremely rare. We report a 24-year-old G6PD deficient patient with AlP poisoning presenting with intravascular hemolysis.
