Abstract
Benzalkonium chloride is a skin antiseptic agent. It should be diluted before usage for cleaning of mucosal membranes; otherwise it may result in severe damage on mucosa. Herein we will report a 2 months old baby who took 10% Benzalkonium chloride orally by an accident and consequently developed esophageal damage and larynx edema. Our aim was to take attention to the Benzalkonium chloride usage.
