J Coll Physicians Surg Pak Jan ;20(7):490-1.

Copper sulphate is a compound prepared by the action of sulphuric acid on copper II. Copper sulphate is widely used as fungicide, herbicide and for photography. In a human being, it can lead to anemia. Medical literature is lacking regarding accidental or suicidal poisoning cases of copper sulphate in Pakistan. We present a case of accidental ingestion of copper sulphate resulting in severe acute toxicity, which was successfully managed by intensive supportive measures and Dimercaprol (BAL).
