Intermediate Syndrome After Organophosphate Ingestion

Intermediate Syndrome Following Organophosphate Poisoning

Clinical profile of Intermediate Syndrome following Organophosphate Poisoning

Intermediate syndrome following organophosphate insecticide poisoning.

Acute organophosphate insecticide poisoning can manifest 3 different phases of toxic effects, namely, acute cholinergic crisis, intermediate syndrome (IMS), and delayed neuropathy. Among them, IMS has been considered as a major contributing factor of organophosphate-related morbidity and mortality because of its frequent occurrence and probable consequence of respiratory failure. Despite a high...

Epidemiology of organophosphate intoxication and predictors of intermediate syndrome.

AIM To evaluate the usefulness of plasma glucose and serum cholinesterase levels as predictors of organophosphate-induced intermediate syndrome. MATERIALS AND METHODS Seventy-one organophosphate poisoning patients who were admitted to our emergency department during a 4-year period were evaluated retrospectively. Four patients were excluded from the study due to a lack of medical records. Cat...

Severe Organophosphate Poisoning with Delayed Cholinergic Crisis, Intermediate Syndrome and Organophosphate Induced Delayed Polyneuropathy on Succession

Organophosphate compounds are the organic derivatives of Phosphorous containing acids and their effect on neuromuscular junction and Autonomic Synapses is clinically important. After exposure these agents cause acute and sub acute manifestations depending on the type and severity of the agents like Acute Cholinergic Manifestations, Intermediate Syndrome with Nicotinic features and Delayed Centr...
