Abstract
Amphetamines and methamphetamines are two groups of substance which their use are increasing globally. Poisoning of the methamphetamines may develop different sympathetic symptoms; however, developing some complications such as vasculitis, central nervous system involvement and kidney injury is extremely rare. In this study, we report a case of methamphetamine poisoning that presented with loss of consciousness and develop TTP, DIC and pulmonary pseud vasculitis.
