Unintentional poisoning is the most common challenge during childhood age. Among them organophosphate, commonly used insecticide agent related to in children. Organophosphate causes up 25% of mortality worldwide. The present article discusses case a 3 year old child with accidental intake organophosphate revealing symptoms experienced by patient and different treatment modalities employed its o...

Insecticide-resistant populations of TPB have been noted in the Delta region (Hollingsworth et al., 1 ; Snodgrass, 1 ). Proposed EPA regulatory constraints on organophosphate insecticide use are anticipated. Viable replacements for organophosphate insecticides are needed. These may include efficient, long-lasting, and specific biological control agents. In this study, a commercially available B...

b a ckground: the german cockroach, b lattella germanica is a major hygienic pest and mechanical vector for path- ogenic agents in hospitals and residential areas. the development of insecticide resistance is a serious problem in controlling of this pest. toxicity of four commonly used insecticides (permethrin, cypermethrin, malathion and chlorpyrifos) against two hospital- collected strains of...

Organophosphate being the lethal compound and easily available insecticide in developing countries has significant potential health risk. The morbidity related to organophosphate poisoning as delayed peripheral neuropathy, extra pyramidal syndromes neuropsychiatric manifestations are still major consequences of secondary neuronal damage. Herein, we present a case 23 year old lady who ingested c...

Organophosphate chronic toxicity has been evaluated in this study. Biological screening for organophosphate insecticide-exposed workers is mostly recommended for mixers, loaders, formulators and spraymen. We have studied 17 occupationally exposed persons to pesticides. Using Ellman's colorimetric method, their plasma cholinesterase activities have been measured. Results show that the appear...

Organophosphate induced delayed neuropathy (OPIDN) is an uncommon clinical condition. It occurs in association with the ingestion of great amounts of organophosphate after the stimulation of cholinergic receptor. The clinical picture is characterized by a distal paresis in lower limbs associated with sensitive symptoms. Electrodiagnostic studies show a motor axonal neuropathy. Involvement of th...
