Oman Journal of Ophthalmology, 2016 Organophosphates have rarely been reported to cause various ocular sequelae including retinal degeneration. Retinal manifestations have been rarely reported and poorly characterized. We describe a case of a 76-year-old man with vision loss beginning in his 20s due to acute on chronic exposure to dimethoate, an organophosphate.

Organophosphate insecticide poisoning [PDF]
Anaesthesia, 1985 Summary Organophosphate insecticides are widely used agents which are quickly absorbed through the skin and mucous membranes. The effects of acute exposure to these agents can be severe and intensive therapy may be required. Specific drugs are available to reverse the muscarinic, nicotinic and central effects of these poisons.

Microbiota and organophosphates
NeuroToxicology, 2019 Organophosphates (OPs) are important toxic compounds commonly used for a variety of purposes in agriculture, industry and household settings. Consumption of these compounds affects several central nervous system functions. Some of the most recognised consequences of organophosphate pesticide exposure in humans include neonatal developmental ...

Tidsskrift for den Norske laegeforening : tidsskrift for praktisk medicin, ny raekke, 1990 Three cases of poisoning by organophosphate dimethoate are described and the importance of correct diagnosis and adequate treatment emphasized. Therapy consists of large doses of atropine, to counteract the muscarinic and other effects on the central nervous system, followed by a reactivator (e.g.

Organophosphates are commonly used as pesticides around the world. Exposures to organophosphates cause a significant number of poisonings and deaths each year. Organophosphates bind and inhibit cholinesterase enzymes. Acute toxicity manifests as a cholinergic crisis with excessive glandular secretions, altered mental status, and weakness.

Annals of Emergency Medicine, 1987
Organophosphate insecticides have become increasingly popular for agricultural, industrial, and home use and represent a significant potential health risk. We have reviewed the history, pathophysiology, clinical presentation, laboratory findings, differential diagnosis, therapy, and complications of toxic exposure to organophosphates. Promp recognition

Pharmacology & Therapeutics, 1993
The present review discusses the structure of the anticholinesterase organophosphates (OPs), which are used predominantly as insecticides. OP poisoning can occur in a variety of situations and can be accidental or suicidal. It is common in developing countries.

Percutaneous Organophosphate Poisoning
Southern Medical Journal, 1987After cutaneous application of the organophosphate insecticide Diazinon for pubic lice, our patient had symptoms of cholinergic excess, lost consciousness, and had a seizure. Because of the high index of clinical suspicion for potentially lethal organophosphate poisoning, the patient received empiric therapy with pralidoxime and atropine and completely
