Abstract
We present the case of a 57-year-old male patient with acute confusional state, metabolic acidemia with elevated anion gap and hyperlactatemia, suspected of ethylene glycol intoxication. Management involved ventilatory support, fluid resuscitation, intravenous bicarbonate, pyridoxine supplementation, and hemodialysis. The patient subsequently developed septic shock and died after a prolonged hospitalization.
