Among these is carbon tetrachloride,1, 2 which is widely used as an industrial solvent, as a household cleanser, as a vermifuge, and as a constituent of some types of fire extinguishers. This report is a clinical analysis of 20 patients with anuria due to carbon tetrachloride intoxication seen at the Peter Bent Brigham Hospital between 1948 and 1957.RESULTSOf the 20 cases, 16 were male and four were female. Their ages varied from 23 to 49 years. There were five deaths, or...Bibliography1. Smetana H: Nephrosis due to carbon tetrachloride, Arch. Int. Med. 63: 760-777, 1939. CrossrefGoogle Scholar2.
