Breath Alcohol Analyzer Mistakes Methanol Poisoning for Alcohol Intoxication
Annals of Emergency Medicine, 10/16/09
Caravati EM et al. – This is a unique clinical case of a breath alcohol analyzer reporting methanol as ethanol. Intoxilyzer devices have been shown to indicate some substances (acetone) as interferents in humans but not methanol.
