Cationic soap have a strong sterilizing action and few side effect in regularly using concentration. And so, it is generally in use for a sterilizer and a disinfectant. High concentrated cationic soap, however, have a strong corrosional action, and some dead cases caused by this disinfectant were reported. We experienced an iatrogenic accident of corrosion of oral mucosa caused by high concentrated benzethonium chloride.A case report: The patient was a 3 month-old baby. At plastic surgery of lip, we disinfected intraoral mucosa, by mistaken, with 10% benzethonium chloride solution.
