A Patient with Intermediate Syndrome with Toxic Encephalopathy Following Organophosphate Poisoning

Intermediate Syndrome Following Organophosphate Poisoning

Clinical profile of Intermediate Syndrome following Organophosphate Poisoning

Intermediate syndrome following organophosphate insecticide poisoning.

Acute organophosphate insecticide poisoning can manifest 3 different phases of toxic effects, namely, acute cholinergic crisis, intermediate syndrome (IMS), and delayed neuropathy. Among them, IMS has been considered as a major contributing factor of organophosphate-related morbidity and mortality because of its frequent occurrence and probable consequence of respiratory failure. Despite a high...

Severe Organophosphate Poisoning with Delayed Cholinergic Crisis, Intermediate Syndrome and Organophosphate Induced Delayed Polyneuropathy on Succession

Organophosphate compounds are the organic derivatives of Phosphorous containing acids and their effect on neuromuscular junction and Autonomic Synapses is clinically important. After exposure these agents cause acute and sub acute manifestations depending on the type and severity of the agents like Acute Cholinergic Manifestations, Intermediate Syndrome with Nicotinic features and Delayed Centr...

The Spectrum of Intermediate Syndrome Following Acute Organophosphate Poisoning: A Prospective Cohort Study from Sri Lanka

BACKGROUND Intermediate syndrome (IMS) is a major cause of death from respiratory failure following acute organophosphate poisoning. The objective of this study was to determine repetitive nerve stimulation (RNS) predictors of IMS that would assist in patient management and clinical research. METHODS AND FINDINGS Seventy-eight consenting symptomatic patients with organophosphate poisoning wer...
