Carbon monoxide (CO) has been called a “great mimicker.” The clinical presentations
associated with CO toxicity may be diverse and nonspecific, including syncope, new-onset
seizure, flu-like illness, headache, and chest pain. Unrecognized CO exposure may
lead to significant morbidity and mortality. Even when the diagnosis is certain, appropriate
therapy is widely debated.
