Percutaneous Organophosphate Poisoning

Southern Medical Journal, 1987
After 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

The Oximes and Organophosphate Poisoning

Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine, 1962
Since the insects began fighting back in 1947,1the war against them has demanded an increasingly diversified armamentarium, and the organic phosphate insecticides have played an important part in the battle. Unfortunately, this group of compounds, an outgrowth of wartime investigation of the chemically related nerve gases, are poisonous to man as well ...

Organophosphate poisoning

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.

Organophosphate and Carbamate Poisoning

Emergency Medicine Clinics of North America, 2015
Organophosphates (OPs) and carbamates have a wide variety of applications, most commonly as pesticides used to eradicate agricultural pests or control populations of disease-carrying vectors. Some OP and carbamates have therapeutic indications such as physostigmine.

A Review of Organophosphate Poisoning

Medical Toxicology, 1988
Many organophosphate compounds are pesticides widely used for the control of insect vectors. They are not ideal agents because they lack target vector selectivity, and have caused severe toxicity and even death in humans and domestic animals. Their toxicity has been recognised since the 1930s, when they were also developed for use as chemical warfare ...

Opsoclonus in Organophosphate Poisoning

Archives of Neurology, 1989
Transient opsoclonus was observed in a patient who attempted suicide with the organophosphate insecticide Malathion (diethyl[dimethoxyphosphinothioyl]thiobutanedioate). Several toxins can cause opsoclonus, and these must be considered in its differential diagnosis.

Therapy In Organophosphate Poisoning

Acta Clinica Belgica, 1976
SummaryThe therapy of an intoxication by cholinesterase-inhibitors consists of the administration of atropine for symptomatic treatment, of the administration of oximes as a causal therapy and of general supportive measures. The dose of atropine is chosen according to the intensity of the poisoning; the therapeutic use of oximes is briefly discussed.

Brain Involvement in Organophosphate Poisoning

Environmental Research, 1997
Organophosphate poisonings cause substantial morbidity and mortality worldwide; however, the neurological effects have not been clearly established. We have studied cerebral perfusion to investigate neurotoxic effects. Clinical effects, plasma cholinesterase activity, and brain single photon emission computerization tomography (SPECT) data were ...

Hormonal consequences of organophosphate poisoning

Fundamental and Applied Toxicology, 1985
The hormonal changes were estimated after poisoning with an extremely toxic organophosphate, soman (pinacolyl methylphosphonofluoridate). Soman produced a significant (p less than or equal to 0.05) increase in serum corticosterone, thyroxine, and triidothyronine concentrations at 3, 6, and 9 hr after poisoning.
