Abstract: Crude oil is unrefined and purified petroleum, whose active components are alkanes, cycloalkanes, aromatic hydrocarbons, alkenes and so on. Petroleum vapor inhalation is the main route of poisoning in clinical. However, there is no case reported for acute poisoning by oral crude oil.In order to improve the understanding of this disease, we report one case with multiple organ dysfunction caused by oral poisoning of petroleum.
