Abstract
Ethylene-di-bromide is a popular fumigant. Delayed long-term effects of thi s chemical include carcinogenicity and genotoxicity in animals. Only a few cases of acute ethylene-di-bromide toxicity have been reported and all of t hem have resulted in a fatal outcome, We report the first case of ethylene- di-bromide poisoning presenting with acute renal failure and toxic hepatiti s that was managed successfully.
