The present experiment was carried out to investigate the effectivness of -lipoic acid in allevating the toxicity of aluminium phosphide on biochemical parameters, free radicals and enzyme activities in plasma, liver and kidney of male rats. Animals were orally treated with aluminium phosphide, -lipoic acid and their combination for 30 consecutive days. Treatment with aluminium phosphide led to...

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.

Recommended methods for disposal of aluminium phosphide may involve burial. A range of aluminium phosphide preparations used for fumigation consisting of partially spent, and unspent commercial phosphine (PH3) generating aluminium phosphide formulations (blankets and sachets, pellets, and tablets), was buried for 19 months. Phosphine produced by the formulations during this period was monitored...

A retrospective analysis of 584 cases of acute poisoning admitted with a medical emergency to the Department of Medicine, GTB Hospital, Delhi, over a three-year period. The patients were analysed with respect to the age, sex, mode of poisoning, type of poison consumed and mortality. Of these, 42.63% were aged 20-30 years. Poisoning was used as a suicidal agent by 63.8% of the patients. The natu...

Sixteen patients suffering from aluminium phosphide poisoning were treated during the year from January 1985 to December 1985. These accounted for approximately half the total number of cases of acute poisoning. Profuse vomiting, pain in the upper abdomen and shock were the most common presenting features. Six patients succumbed to their illness. Analysis of various prognostic factors revealed ...

pant h & tripathi s. 2011. Fumigation of wood with aluminium phosphide for protection against fungi. The search for alternatives to the environmentally harmful fumigant methyl bromide has led to the evaluation of phosphine as preshipment and in-transit treatments for logs and sawn timber. The biological activity of aluminium phosphide against wood decaying fungi was determined using agar plate ...

A 15-year-old boy was referred to the hospital from the periphery with a history of ingestion of 5 wheat pills (aluminium phosphide) 5 days back. He had been given a stomach wash in his village hospital prior to referral. On arrival, he was jaundiced and had developed haematuria too, but otherwise appeared well in himself. Four days after admission, his haemoglobin showed a marked drop and he w...

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...
