background: the poisoning is mostly due to suicide and is observed in younger age groups. the systemic manifestations of alp poisoning are common but pernicious manifestations of them are cardiotoxicity, shock, and ards. the clinical hallmark of cardiotoxicity is arrhythmia. the aim of this study was to investigate cardiac arrhythmias in patients poisoned with alp who were admitted to razi hosp...

Metal phosphides such as aluminum phosphide are potent insecticides. This highly toxic substance is used for rice and other grains protection in Iran. Due to its high toxicity potential and easy availability, it is widely used as a suicide poison. This substance has no effective antidote and the incidence of deaths due to its poisoning is increasing day by day in Iran. The present study was con...

A 16-year-old schoolgirl presented to the emergency ward after ingestion of 1 fresh tablet of aluminum phosphide (celphos) mixed with water. According to the attendant, she vomited 8-10 times and had profuse sweating after ingestion of celphos tablet. There was no history of fever, headache, chest pain, breathlessness, convulsion, drug intake or loss of consciousness after ingestion of celphos ...

Aluminum phosphide (AlP) is an important fumigant, a commendable and very effective outdoor and indoor insecticide. AlP, locally named “rice tablet”, is widely used to protect rice. As soon as taking a very small amount of an AlP tablet, phosphine vaporizes due to the exposure to the air and affects different kinds of organs. Although, in most cases, clinical history can help making the final d...

Aluminum phosphide (AlP) is a highly effective rodenticide which is used as a suicide poison. Herein, a 24 year-old man who’d intentionally ingested about 1liter of alcohol and one tablet of AlP is reported. Acute myocardial infarction due to AlP poisoning has been occurred secondary to AIP poisoning. Cardiovascular complications are poor prognostic factors in AlP poisoning

Aluminum phosphide (AlP) as 3 g tablet is widely used in Iran to protect stored food grains from pests. Hyperglycemia following its ingestion has been already reported in the recent years but severe hypoglycemia is uncommon. Here, we report a 19 year old male who attempted suicide with one tablet of AlP and demonstrated severe hypoglycemia. Despite restoration of blood glucose concentration to ...

Purpose: to investigate the effects of phosphide on some human biological systems in order to find a way to control it and facilitate the prevention and treatment of its poisoning. Materials and Methods: In this study, 67 files of autopsy description, forensic pathology results and forensic toxicology were studied as nominal qualitative variables in terms of each type of histological changes in...
