Abstract

A case of accidental poisoning of an adult by the misuse of an organophosphorous insecticide solution Neguvon is presented. Repeated dermal application of the compound produced moderate symptoms and the fall of the erythrocyte (56%) and plasma (49%) cholinesterase activity. A single atropine injection was successful in alleviating the symptoms of poisoning.
