title: Myocardial damage in hair dye poisoning--an uncommon presentation.
abstract: A 22-year-old female presented to us after consuming hair dye with features of angio-neurotic edema, asphyxia and irregular pulse. Serial ECGs revealed presence of ST segment elevation and T wave inversion in anterior chest leads. Strongly positive c-troponin-T test further confirmed the myocardial damage. This is a rare manifestation of para-phenylene diamine poisoning mentioned in literature. Patient also had elevated liver enzymes and oliguria.
