ORGANOPHOSPHOROUS POISONING WITH INTERMEDIATE SYNDROME

Intermediate syndrome in organophosphorous poisoning--a case report.

A case of organophosphorous poisoning in a 29 year old male who developed intermediate syndrome manifested by features of respiratory depression as evidenced by marked weakness of the respiratory muscles, tachypnoea, and drop in oxygen saturation despite reversal of nicotinic and muscarinic effects of organophosphorous poisoning. The case highlights its early recognition and prompt institution ...

Oxidative damage in intermediate syndrome of acute organophosphorous poisoning.

BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES The main cause of morbidity due to organophosphate poisoning is intermediate syndrome (Type II paralysis) that can occur 48-72 h after poisoning. Mechanisms that underlie the intermediate syndrome are not known. This study investigates the role of oxidative damage to muscles as a possible mechanism underlying the development of the intermediate syndrome. METHODS Ninete...

Intermediate Syndrome Following Organophosphate Poisoning

Clinical profile of Intermediate Syndrome following Organophosphate Poisoning

Organophosphorus poisoning and intermediate neurotoxic syndrome.

Very few cases of the "intermediate neurotoxic syndrome", a type of neurotoxic effect or organophosphate compound have been reported in the literature. We are reporting a case that developed the clinical features of such type of neurotoxic effect after 55 hours of taking the organophosphorus compound.
