Abstract
We presented a case of 28 year-old male, who was found in a deep coma complicated with acute respiratory failure because of recreational intoxication with tert-amyl alcohol (TAA). The TAA blood level at the admission was 83 μg/mL determined by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). In the last few months popularity of TAA among alcohol and drug addicted people in Europe is still growing. The main reasons of these are: self-healing of addiction, low price of this xenobiotic compare to alcohol, and problem to detect this xenobiotic in generally used screening tests.
Keywords: 2-Methyl-2-butanol; GC–MS; Intoxication; Tert-amyl alcohol.
