【 摘 要 】
At present, some teenagers and young people in Cuba, in their desire to quickly increase the size of their muscles, are injecting soybean oil for domestic use, which has led them to serious injuries and even risk to their lives. The aim of this work is to present this new condition, to show the characteristics of the lesions and spread the results for education and prevention. We presented three cases on the adverse effects of oil injection into muscles in patients who were admitted to the Paediatric Hospital "Eliseo ¨Noel¨ Caamaño" of Matanzas from December 2010 to May 2011. Their clinical features were a high increase in volume of the injected muscles, heat, redness, intense pain and functional impotence with general malaise. The surgical treatment consisted on the incision, debridement and drainage which showed abundant oil, pus, blood and necrotic muscle fibres, procedure that had to be performed many times. The lesions did not occur immediately, but with varying intervals and not in unison but in a disorganized form with great difficulty in healing. Treatment with broad-spectrum antibiotic was also used as well as hyperbaric chamber. We conclude that the use of domestic oil provokes serious consequences to health such as sepsis and serious muscle necrosis, Hepatitis C, septicaemia and danger to the lives of those who use it.
