title: [Arsin (AsH3) poisoning: hemolysis and kidney failure].
abstract: A 46-year-old chemist inadvertently inhaled arsine (AsH3) at work. After several hours abdominal cramps, haemolytic jaundice and massive haemoglobinuria developed. There was transitory hypoxaemia and compensated renal insufficiency. After forced diuresis and transfusions the patient slowly recovered. The only residual defect is arterial hypertension which requires treatment.
