Acute myocarditis is a rare but potentially life-threatening complication of paraphenylene diamine (PPD) poisoning.
Paraphenylene diamine (PPD) is used as a hair dye. Poisoning causes this very often in the hours following acute respiratory distress, which can be life-threatening, and acute renal failure in the early days, requiring very often extra renal purification sessions. Past the Cape of asphyxiation and that of acute renal failure, the prognosis can be put into play by the installation of myocarditis, rare complication of PPD, as evidenced by our observation, whose outcome was favourable.
