Three cases of iodoform poisoning are described following dressings with 10% iodoform gauze (0.10 x 5 m) on extended wounds. Five, ten and sixteen days after the beginning of dressings, the patients became confuse, hallucinated, and one of them was subsequently comatose. Vomiting, fever, tachycardia with premature ventricular beats and shortening of P-R interval, slight increase of transaminases and proteinuria were observed. Within a few days (3 to 8) after the iodoform dressings were discontinued, the signs of iodoform toxicity disappeared. The toxicity of iodoform is probably unrecognized if the rarity of the observations published and the amount of iodoform gauzes annually sold are compared.
