Acute severe multiorgan dysfunction syndrome with oral acetamiprid poisoning

Two cases of acute poisoning with acetamiprid in humans.

INTRODUCTION Acetamiprid is a potent and a relatively new neonicotinoid insecticide. Animal studies have indicated that it has a low toxicity to mammals. Despite wide usage, human exposure resulting in toxicity is quite limited, and this is the first report in the English literature about acute acetamiprid poisoning in humans. CASE DETAILS We herein describe two cases of acute poisoning with ...

Fatal severe acute respiratory syndrome is associated with multiorgan involvement by coronavirus.

Severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) is characterized by pulmonary compromise; however, patients often have evidence of other organ dysfunction that may reflect extrapulmonary dissemination of SARS coronavirus (SARS-CoV). We report on the distribution and viral load of SARS-CoV in multiple organ samples from patients who died of SARS during the Toronto outbreak. SARS-CoV was detected in lun...

Renal supportive therapy for pediatric acute kidney injury in the setting of multiorgan dysfunction syndrome/sepsis.

In the setting of sepsis and multiorgan dysfunction syndrome, the development of acute kidney injury can be an ominous event, particularly in the pediatric patient. In this setting, rapid initiation of renal supportive therapy is likely to positively impact on mortality rates. Therapeutic initiation and choice of dialytic modality are dependent on physician beliefs, as well as patient and organ...
