We present the case of a teenage girl who presented with #hyperacutefulminant #hepatic failure after ingesting a potentially lethal dose of yellow phosphorous rat poison and survived. We review the literature and describe the clinical course of yellow #phosphorus poisoning, and focus on interventions appropriate to lower resource settings #N-Acetylcysteine (NAC) and good supportive care.
