The typical clinical presentation of severe dimethoate poisoning is quite distinct from that of chlorpyrifos and other OP pesticides: many patients present with hypotension that progresses to shock and...

for it was largely intra-thoracic and yet the tear was limited to the oesophago-gastric junction. It is suggested here that there is occasionally a failure of relaxation of the lower oesophagus which raises the pressure gradient to a sufficient degree to cause a tear, for the lower oesophagus normally relaxes during vomiting and in this patient the gastrografin swallow showed evidence of abnorm...
متن کاملMethylene Blue Is Effective to Reverse Refractory Hemodynamic Instability due to Dimethoate Poisoning
Background:Organophosphates are commercially available agrochemicals for pest control, but may be abused for deliberate self-poisoning. We report a case of suicidal ingestion of dimethoate, a moderately toxic organophosphate insecticide, which can cause refractory hemodynamic instability, and the successful use of methylene blue (MB) for counteracting this complication. Case Presentation: An u...
