Résumé
Exposure to and consumption of brackish water are associated with an elevated risk of infection, hypernatremia, and hypothermia. Minimal data exist to support the diagnosis and treatment of patients with long-term brackish water exposure. We present a case of a patient who spent 5 to 10 d semisubmerged in the Elizabeth River in coastal Virginia. A 55-y-old male presented via ambulance after 5 to 10 d of being "stuck in the mud." He was hypernatremic, with a sodium of 176 mEq·L
