Symptoms And Signs

The effects of ethyl alcohol in man may be classified into two main groups. The first, consisting of all those symptoms and signs that can be directly attributed to the action of alcohol itself, includes all the features of acute alcohol intoxication. The second group, with which this study is concerned, consists of a wide variety of conditions which do not appear to result directly from the action of alcohol and which may be regarded as secondary complications. They occur only when excess alcohol intake has occurred over a prolonged period.

Initial Values

ABSTRACT The effect of ethyl alcohol on the circulating eosinophil cells has been studied in female albino rats. An intoxicating dose of alcohol caused a marked depletion of circulating eosinophils which was most clearly evident four hours after the administration of the alcohol. The initial values were not reached before 24 hours had elapsed. Intraperitoneal injection of vitamin C 12 hours prior to the alcohol administration very effectively prevented this eosinopenic reaction. The mechanism of regulation of the eosinophil cells in the circulation has been discussed in the light of previous results and of those obtained in this study.

Tepid Water

The inhalation of ethyl or isopropylalcohol vapor during sponge bathing may result in alcohol intoxication and coma. Ingestion of these alcohols may cause hypoglycemia in children or adults. The present case is the first reported in which alcohol-induced hypoglycemia developed following inhalation of alcohol. A six month-old male infant became comatose following sponge bathing with ethyl alcohol. He was found to have acute alcohol intoxication (blood alcohol 220 mg per 100 ml) and severe hypoglycemia (blood glucose 22 mg per 100 ml). The administration of 50% glucose in water intravenously resulted in prompt recovery. Alcohol sponging to lower elevated temperature is rarely necessary. Cooling with tepid water is effective and considerably less hazardous; the addition of alcohol is not necessary.
