Delayed Polyneuropathy as A Rare Manifestation of Chlorphyriphos Poisoning; A case Report

Dr. Archana Verma, Alok Kumar

Abstract :

Agrochemical poisoning is mostly due to exposure to organophosphates (most common in India). Besides their well known acute cholinergic toxicity, these compounds may also lead to late–onset distal polyneuropathy, two to three weeks after the acute exposure. Here we report a case of a young farmer who developed acute Chlorphyriphos poisoning due to its deliberate consumption and later on presented with delayed motor axonal polyneuroapthy. This case is being reported on account of its rarity.
