摘要

2019冠状病毒病大流行让我们认识到长期以来被忽视的个人卫生问题。过去主要在卫生保健设施中使用的洗手液等措施，最近在各地的使用激增。在本次大流行期间，包括家庭在内的几乎所有环境中都可获得洗手液，这预示着个人卫生迈出了新的一步。世界各地的人们到处都在使用洗手液。虽然人们对它在防止病原体传播方面的有益作用已经了解得很多，但它的不明智使用导致了它的不良影响，如果滥用的话。我们在此提出一例1型糖尿病患者服用洗手液。这一病例突出了洗手液在意外使用时的不良影响和致命性，因此提醒我们在大流行中明智地使用洗手液。

Hand sanitizer: A double-edged sword used in the COVID-19 pandemic

The COVID-19 pandemic has taught us the emphasis of personal hygiene which was long being ignored. Measures such as hand sanitizer which were predominantly used in health-care facilities in the past have seen recent surge in its usage everywhere. The availability of hand sanitizer in almost all the settings in this pandemic including the household has heralded a new step in personal hygiene. People across the world are using hand sanitizer everywhere. As much is known about its beneficial effect in preventing the spread of pathogens, its injudicious use has resulted in discovering its adverse effect if misused. We hereby present a case where the patient with Type 1 diabetes mellitus presented with hand sanitizer ingestion. This case highlights the unwanted effects and lethality of hand sanitizer if used in an unintended manner and hence alert us for its judicious use in the pandemic.
