“…It is very important to follow up these patients carefully. Intoxications with β‐blockers, TCA, carbon monoxide, INH, lead, cocaine, theophylline, lithium, diphenhydramine, meperidine, organophosphate/carbamate, volatile substances (camphore, eucalyptus) may cause seizures 1,2,5,7–9 . Olson et al had investigated seizures due to intoxications at an intoxication center and found that TCA, cocaine and other stimulants are the most frequent agents 4 .…”

“…4,5 Gastrointestinal system is the primary entrance for organophosphate insecticides when ingested for suicidal purpose, poisoning may also occur by gastrointestinal tract or skin accidentally. [6][7][8][9][10] There is no reported case of homicidal poisoning due to injection of organophosphate insecticides, although homicidal poisonings due to oral administration 11 and parenteral use for suicidal intent reported were even extremely rare. 7,[12][13][14][15][16][17] Methidathion (S-2,3-dihydro-5-methoxy-2-oxo-1,3,4-thiadiazol-3-ylmethyl O,O-dimethyl phosphorodithioate) is an organophosphate insecticide that inhibits the activity of cholinesterases.…”

Homicidal poisoning by injection of methidathion: The first ever report

We present the first ever case of homicidal poisoning due to injection of methidathion, an organophosphate insecticide. Case: A 4-month-old baby presented to the emergency department with chief complaints of unconsciousness and irregular respiration. A bitter odour and an injection site with a greenish blue colouration and two bullaous lesions were noticed by the emergency department physicians. Postmortem examinations revealed a wide shiny blue colouration of the antecubital region with oedematous muscular fascia and focal liquefaction necrosis. Blood and tissue levels were positive for methidathion. Our case report emphasizes the necessity of a detailed crime scene investigation and postmortem examination for the possibility of homicide in such cases. Although injection sites may be the expected results of medical treatment, dermal lesions also may be associated with injections of toxic substances.

Organophosphate acetylcholine esterase inhibitor poisoning is a major health problem in children. We report an unusual cause of organophosphate acetylcholine esterase inhibitor poisoning. Two children were admitted to the pediatric intensive care unit due to organophosphate acetylcholine esterase inhibitor poisoning after exposure from a home-made shampoo that was used for the treatment of head lice. Owing to no obvious source of poisoning, the diagnosis of organophosphate acetylcholine esterase inhibitor poisoning in one of these patients was delayed. Both patients had an uneventful recovery. Organophosphate acetylcholine esterase inhibitor poisoning from home-made shampoo is possible. In cases where the mode of poisoning is unclear, direct questioning about the use of home-made shampoo is warranted, in these cases the skin and particularly the scalp should be rinsed thoroughly as soon as possible.
