Type II paralysis or intermediate syndrome following organophosphorous poisoning.
Three cases of type II paralysis or intermediate syndrome following organophosphorous poisoning are reported. Two patients had an initial improvement followed by development of paralysis of neck flexors, cranial nerves, proximal muscles of the limbs and respiratory muscles, which occurred 48 to 96 hours after the poisoning. All the patients recovered completely. Topics: Adult; Humans; Insecticides; Male; Monocrotophos; Paralysis; Parathion; Time Factors | 1992 |
Treatment of monocrotophos-poisoned birds of prey with pralidoxime iodide.
Monocrotophos, and organophosphorus insecticide, was sprayed by farmers to control a plague of levant voles in alfalfa fields. Large numbers of birds of prey attracted by the dying and dead voles developed secondary poisoning after eating the voles. Paralysis of skeletal muscles was the principal clinical finding in these birds. Many of the birds died but some were treated with pralidoxime iodide, 100 mg/kg of body weight, given by intramuscular injection. All treated birds recovered, some in a very short time.
