As the specialty of emergency medicine (EM) continues to evolve in countries around the world, and as interest in international emergency medicine (IEM) continues to grow within the United States, the IEM Literature Review Group recognizes a need for a high-quality, consolidated, and easily accessible evidence base of literature. In response to that need, the group created an annual publication that strives to provide readers with access to the highest quality and most relevant IEM research. This publication represents our fourth annual review, covering the top 26 IEM research articles published in 2008. Articles were selected for the review according to explicit, predetermined criteria that include both methodologic quality and perceived impact of the research. It is our hope that this annual review will act as a forum for disseminating best practices while also stimulating further research in the field of IEM.

We report a case of a three months old female presented with status epilepticus who was diagnosed as organophosphate (OP) poisoning. She was from rural area with agricultural background. Typical clinical features and history of exposure to organophosphate compound were absent. The infant was successfully treated with atropine, pralidoxime and supportive management. Safety and efficacy data of pralidoxime in infants are limited in literature and was found safe in our case.

“…Indeed, one study confirmed that only pinpoint pupils and diarrhea are enough for early triage in pediatric exposure to insecticides. 8 However, further course of otherwise not straightforward symptoms were actually dominated by nicotinic effects (muscle weakness and cramps) and subtle neuropathic signs (sensitivity to touch).…”

Contamination or transcutaneous absorption of organophosphates (OP) is rare and there exist only few reports of such manner of poisoning. We report four children from the same family in whom temporal proximity of the disease onset, a detailed interrogation of parents and exclusion of other clinical differentials, led to the diagnosis of transcutaneous intoxication with organophosphates (diazinon). The contamination occurred during the game with a freshly used poison can. Uncommon clinical picture was marked by delayed signs predominantly reflecting certain nicotinic effects (muscle weakness, cramps) along with subtle neuropathic features occurring throughout a few weeks after initial event. Our illustrative cases can further contribute to the better awareness and understanding of variable spectrum of transcutaneous route of OP poisoning.
