A case of acute copper sulfate intoxication is presented here, as an illustration of high toxic copper dose. A 38-years-old patient with a light mental deficit ingested half a glass of copper sulfate. This patient first suffered from nausea and vomiting, then an intravascular haemolysis occurred during the hospitalisation in our intensive care unit. The outcome was favourable under aetiologic and symptomatic treatment: administration of D-penicillamine as a copper antidote and packed red cell transfusion. The patient left the intensive care unit after 9 days. Acute copper intoxication is not an exceptional situation, with a potentially severe outcome.
