Salicylate intoxication

Salicylate intoxication is an acute or chronic toxicologic state resulting from excessive exposure to salicylic acid derivatives, such as aspirin, bismuth subsalicylate, or methyl salicylate The condition affects multiple organ systems, most notably the central nervous, gastrointestinal, and renal systems, occurring across both pediatric and adult populations Defining clinical features classically include a mixed acid-base disorder—characterized by primary respiratory alkalosis and high anion ga...
