Camphor hepatotoxicity.

A Uc1, W P Bishop, K D Sanders.   

Abstract

We report a case of hepatotoxicity in a 2-month-old baby after a camphor-containing cold remedy was applied dermally. Liver function tests returned to normal after the application of the cold remedy was discontinued. Ingestion of camphor can cause severe liver and central nervous system injury, and neurotoxicity has been observed after exposure to camphor through the skin. Hepatotoxicity after dermal application of camphor has never been reported. This report emphasizes the common use of cold remedies that are usually not beneficial and may be potentially dangerous.
