Cutaneous Changes in a Patient With Carbon Monoxide Poisoning

Skin Lesions in Carbon Monoxide Intoxication

“…During the acute stage, carbon monoxide poisoning may cause bright red flushes in the skin and dusky ery thematous patches and plaques may arise along bony pro minences [ 1 ]. Later in the course of the intoxication, large blisters develop precisely at the pressure sites [ 1-3|.…”
