Abstract
A 3-year-old boy developed anorexia, oliguria, central nervous system (CNS) irritation, and a generalized erythematous desquamation of the skin after application of a medicated talcum powder containing boric acid. Nine months later low urine specific gravity was still present. The subject of boric acid intoxication is reviewed.
