<p>Chemical Pneumonitis is a chemical-induced lung injury caused by inhalation or ingestion of certain chemicals or toxic fumes. It may be caused due to cleaning agents, industrial chemicals or organophosphate poisoning. Lung injury caused by household chemicals, called Corrosive poisoning, is a common clinical entity seen in adults and children. It is often seen in young females, who are usually the victims of suicide. One commonly used corrosive agent in floor cleaners is Ethylenedioxy Dimethanol and Glutaraldehyde. Aspiration of these chemicals causes severe respiratory complications. The gold standard for diagnosis is HRCT. However, the acute injury is conservatively managed. Here we present a case of a young female who had a history of alleged consumption of floor cleaner (Bacillocid, composed of Ethylenedioxy Dimethanol and glutaraldehyde) later diagnosed with chemical pneumonitis secondary to Ethylenedioxy Dimethanol and Glutaraldehyde. The severity of the condition depends on the type or volume of chemical ingested.</p>

<p><strong>Introduction: </strong>Diabetes mellitus affects over 537 million worldwide and is expected to rise significantly. Diabetic children are more prone to dental health problems.</p> <p><strong>Aim:</strong> To assess the prevalence and experience of dental caries among children diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes mellitus.</p> <p><strong>Methods and subjects: </strong>A cross-sectional study included diabetic children aged 4-15 years, was conducted in Benghazi-Libya at Benghazi Medical Center, Benghazi Children’s Hospital, and the National Center for Diabetes Diagnosis and Treatment. Data were collected through patient records, and a validated questionnaire completed by the participants’ caregivers. Dental caries experience was assessed according to the World Health Organization (WHO) oral health examination using the DMFT/dmft indices. All collected data were coded, entered, and analyzed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS), version 25, ensuring data accuracy, confidentiality, and integrity throughout the research process.</p> <p><strong>Results: </strong>A total of 151 participants aged&nbsp;4 to 15 years<strong>&nbsp;</strong>in Benghazi City were included in the analysis. With a slight female majority (53.6%) and diagnosed with type 1 diabetes (98%), of which 96% were uncontrolled diabetes. Clinical examination revealed a high prevalence of dental caries in both primary (56.5%) and permanent dentitions (54.5%), with mean dmft and DMFT scores of 2.31 and 1.63, respectively.</p> <p><strong>Conclusion:</strong> The study revealed a high prevalence of dental caries among diabetic children in Benghazi, affecting over half of the sample in both primary and permanent teeth. There were no notable differences in caries prevalence by gender. Additionally, 96% of the participants had uncontrolled diabetes, which likely exacerbated their oral health problems.</p>
