Number of Figures: 0 Number of Tables: 0 ISSN: 0250-8095 (Print) eISSN: 1421-9670 (Online) For additional information: Abstract A case of bromate-induced acute renal failure (ARF) in an infant associated with hemolysis, thrombocytopenia and deafness is presented [karger.com]

Clinical presentation Within 2 hours of ingestion, victims develop GI symptoms, including vomiting (occasionally hematemesis), diarrhea, and epigastric pain. This may be accompanied by restlessness, lethargy, coma, and convulsions. [mhmedical.com]

The BIS should amend relevant available standards in this case as well,” the CSE suggested, adding, “There are safer alternatives present and the cost of adopting those is insignificant.” [deccanchronicle.com]

• Unconsciousness

  Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Get medical attention. Skin Contact: Immediately flush skin with plenty of soap and water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. [us.vwr.com]

  If the victim is convulsing or unconscious, do not give anything by mouth, ensure that the victim's airway is open and lay the victim on his/her side with the head lower than the body. DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. [cameochemicals.noaa.gov]

  Rinse mouth with water (never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person). Seek immediate medical advice. [t3db.ca]

• Asymptomatic

  An asymptomatic phase of a few hours may follow before overt renal failure develops. Anuria is usually apparent within 1–2 days of ingestion; renal failure may be irreversible. [mhmedical.com]

• Gastric Lavage

  Immediate gastric lavage should be performed, preferentially with 2% sodium bicarbonate to prevent formation of the irritating hydrobromic acid [ 9 ]. [kjim.org]

• Cough

  There was a reported case of an infant who developed vegetative lesions on the scalp and face after being given baby cough syrup containing bromine. Cherry angiomas developed on technicians exposed to brominate components. [iodine-resource.com]

  IMMEDIATELY call a physician and be prepared to transport the victim to a hospital even if no symptoms (such as wheezing, coughing, shortness of breath, or burning in the mouth, throat, or chest) develop. [cameochemicals.noaa.gov]

  Potential Health Effects ---------------------------------- Inhalation: Effects should be less severe than exposure to higher concentrations of potassium bromide/bromate which has symptoms of coughing [us.vwr.com]

  This will in turn lead to the development of symptoms like cough, sore throat, abdominalpain, diarrhea, nausea and vomiting. [orientjchem.org]

  Vomiting, epigastralgia, watery diarrhea and anuria appeared after 30 minutes and he became deaf within 12 hours. Renal function recovered after hemodialysis. Renal biopsy revealed acute renal tubular necrosis. [sigmaaldrich.com]

  Bromate is absorbed through the digestive organs and excreted in the urine, and bromate intoxication typically presents as the sudden onset of nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and diarrhea shortly after ingestion [ 1 - 3 ]. [kjim.org]

  Forensic medicine and medical specialists Sushil Kumar and Pankaj Pranjal had documented nine patients with abdominal pain, vomiting and diarrhoea and attributed the symptoms to accidental ingestion of potassium bromate, mistaken as milk powder. [telegraphindia.com]

  Some people who ingested large amounts of bromate had gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and abdominal pain. [health.ny.gov]

  Health effects: • Ingestion of very large amounts of bromate (as in acute poisoning from suicide attempts) causes nausea, diarrhea, vomiting and abdominal pain, as well as effects on the kidneys and nervous system and hearing loss. • It is an animal carcinogen [watertechonline.com]

• Epigastric Pain

• Hearing Impairment

  Toxic ingestions of this substance were initially reported during the 1940s and 1950s and are characterized primarily by gastrointestinal symptoms, hearing impairment, and acute renal failure. 1 Although many manufacturers have now substituted less toxic [pediatrics.aappublications.org]

  Hearing impairment is rather common and is usually rapidly progressive, bilateral, and of severe to profound sensorineural type of hearing loss (SNHL) [ 3, 4 ]. [ejao.org]

  In addition, if bromate is in haled, other health problems such as kidney failure, hearing impairment, bronchial and ocular problems, haemolysis,extreme irritation and injury to tissues especially those of the central nervous system and kidneys have been [orientjchem.org]

• Tinnitus

  Tinnitus and irreversible sensorineural deafness occur between 4 and 16 hours after ingestion in adults, but deafness may be delayed for several days in children. Hemolysis and thrombocytopenia have been reported in some pediatric cases. [mhmedical.com]

  The initial clinical and laboratory features suggested the diagnosis of hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS). The serum bromide level was in the nontoxic range (1.2 mg/dl). [karger.com]

  The clinical symptoms and course together with laboratory studies suggest that the cerebral lesion was due to direct sodium bromate intoxication. [sigmaaldrich.com]

Water Treatment for Bromates After formation, bromates are difficult to remove from water. Instead, the World Health Organization recommends preventative methods during ozonation, such as pre-treatment and regulation of pH and temperature. [purewaterproducts.com]

In our case, it was felt to be difficult to estimate the prognosis of a renal failure by renal biopsies alone, particularly those at the early stages of the disease, indicating the prognostic importance of a serial renal biopsy in such circumstances. [jstage.jst.go.jp]

Immediate gastric lavage should be performed, preferentially with 2% sodium bicarbonate to prevent formation of the irritating hydrobromic acid [ 9 ]. [kjim.org]

This suggests that emergency therapeutic measures, including hemodialysis, should be taken as soon as possible, as the rapid removal of bromate may be essential to preventing severe intoxication and its sequelae. [kci.go.kr]
