ABSTRACT
A 77-year-old female was admitted 3 hours after intentionally ingesting 5 g of aluminum ammonium sulfate ('Alum') powder dissolved in water. Gastric lavage with normal saline, activated charcoal chelation, and supportive therapies were performed. She showed a high anion gap metabolic acidosis, which rapidly progressed to multiple organ failure including ARDS. The patient subsequently progressed to a refractory shock which eventually led to death.
