Prompt recognition and aggressive intervention are essential for survival, yet pediatric-specific management strategies remain limited in the literature.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Case Presentation:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A previously healthy 9-month-old boy ingested an estimated 25 g of acetaminophen (\u223c2700\u00a0mg\/kg by history) following an exploratory ingestion. Within 4 hours, he developed an altered mental status, severe anion-gap metabolic acidosis with lactic acidosis, early coagulopathy, and respiratory failure. He was diagnosed with high-risk acetaminophen poisoning complicated by adenovirus-associated acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Management and Outcome:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Treatment included high-dose N-acetylcysteine (NAC), adjunctive fomepizole, 2 sessions of intermittent hemodialysis (HD), followed by 16 hours of continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT). Management also required aggressive phosphorus repletion and prolonged mechanical ventilation. The patient was extubated on day 17 and discharged on day 35 without progression to acute liver failure.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This case demonstrates successful multimodal management of high-risk acetaminophen poisoning in an infant using extracorporeal toxin removal and adjunctive therapies. It highlights practical considerations for NAC dose adjustment during HD and CRRT and underscores important public health concerns regarding the accessibility and formulation of potentially lethal medications. Regulatory strategies limiting acetaminophen quantities per container and discouraging formulations attractive to young children may reduce the risk of severe exploratory ingestions.<\/jats:p>\n
