Abstract
- Hydrogen peroxide is a strong oxidizing agent widely available as disinfectants. It can be harmful if it enters into the bowels. Within moments after gastrointestinal exposure, the colon becomes distended with reduced blood flow. The reaction with catalase can cause acute colitis due to the release of oxygen. We present a case of a child with hydrogen peroxide-induced proctocolitis.
