Cases of Methanol Poisoning in Selangor

It has been brought to our notice by Jabatan Kesihatan Negeri Selangor that there have been 34 cases of methanol poisoning to date, with a number of deaths. The majority of cases involve Myanmars, and most of them had been treated by GPs who were probably not aware of the underlying problem. The patients had a history of having consumed cheap alcohol a few days prior to onset of symptoms which included severe headache, abdominal pain, vomiting, delirium, convulsions and loss of consciousness. Doctors, especially GPs, in Selangor are advised to be aware of this and to be alert to the possibility of methanol poisoning in patients manifesting such symptoms.

Summary of WHO Recommendations for Reducing Risk of Transmission to Humans

  1. All individuals involved in culling operations should be attired appropriately (face mask, boots, goggles, protective clothing and gloves). Detailed measures should be instituted to prevent possible virus carriage out of affected farms e.g. disinfecting boots, disposal of protective gear and personal hygiene.
  2. All staff involved in direct contact with the affected farms should be given influenza vaccination for the current recommended strains.
  3. Influenza surveillance should be strengthened and periodic prompt analysis should be done at district levels to detect abnormal trends early.
  4. Front line health staff with possible contact with high risk patients should be given influenza vaccination as soon as possible.
  5. Universal precautions for handling patients suspected with atypical pneumonia as had been practised for SARS.
  6. Increased vigilance of doctors / paramedics screening patients especially in inquiring for recent international travel and occupational exposure to poultry.
