Ecobichon DJ, Ozere RL, Reid E, Crocker JF: Acute fenitrothion poisoning. Can Med Assoc J. 1977 Feb 19;116(4):377-9.
A technician was accidentally exposed to the organophosphorus insecticide fenitrothion and subsequently treated with pralidoxime for the autonomic, somatic and psychiatric manifestations of intoxication. Although long-term therapy with pralidoxime is not recommended, this patient required and obtained symptomatic benefit from its prolonged use. Erythrocytic and plasma cholinesterase activities had been monitored prior to exposure and were monitored throughout treatment and following recovery. Continual monitoring of cholinesterase activities of individuals occupationally exposed to organophosphorus ester insecticides and early diagnosis are essential. |
