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 change...

Aluminum phosphide poisoning is common in our region. It can cause severe metabolic acidosis and persistent hypotension, which lead to cardiogenic shock and subsequently mortality. Oliguric or anuric acute kidney injury is seen in almost all patients with aluminum phosphide poisoning. Renal replacement therapies are recommended in these patients to improve metabolic acidosis and increase the ra...

Aluminum phosphide has high toxicity when it is ingested, and in case of contact with moisture, phosphine gas is released. Aluminum phosphide poisoning causes metabolic acidosis, arrhythmia, acute respiratory distress syndrome and shock, and there is no specific antidote. A 17-year-old male patient was referred to our hospital because of aluminum phosphide poisoning with 1500 mg of aluminum pho...

aluminum phosphide (alp) is a solid fumigant which is widely used for a suicide attempt in iran. although neurologic symptoms are commonly reported, cerebrovascular stenosis is rare in alp poisoning. we described ischemic stroke as a delayed complication of alp intoxication. a 30-year-old man was admitted because of sudden onset left side hemiplegia, 11 days after intentional ingestion of three...

background: aluminum phosphide (alp) or rice tablet is a common agent used as pesticides. it is cheap, widely available and highly toxic and responsible for many cases of poisoning in the agricultural communities. there is limited evidence about change of liver enzymes in patients with alp poisoning in this region. therefore, we decided to evaluate alteration of liver enzymes in alp poisoning i...

ABSTRACT Background: Aluminum phosphide as a fumigant is extensively used for wheat preservation from rodents and bugs especially in silos worldwide. There is increasing number of acute intoxication with this potentially lethal compound because of its easy availability. We have tried to locate predictors of poor prognosis in patients with aluminum phosphide intoxication in order to find patien...

aluminium phosphide poisoning and glucose‐6‐phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency are two commonly seen clinical presentations in iran. however, hemolysis associated with aluminium phosphide poisoning is very rare. we report a case of concurrent aluminium phosphide poisoning and glucose‐6‐phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency in a 24 year old man presenting with intravascular hemolysis. key words: gl...

The California ground squirrel (Spermophilus beecheyi) is widely distributed throughout California. It causes serious damage to agricultural crops. Tests were conducted to evaluate the fumigant aluminum phosphide (Phostoxin®) and to compare it to the commonly used gas cartridge. Treatments consisted of applying either a single-dose (two 3-gm tablets) or double-dose (four 3-gm tablets) of alumin...
