Acute endosulfan intoxication presents with severe metabolic acidosis, hyperglycemia, and thrombocytopenia. High blood endosulfan levels correlate with fatality, highlighting the pesticide

Area of Science:

  • Toxicology
  • Environmental Health
  • Clinical Medicine

Background:

  • Endosulfan is a toxic organochlorine pesticide.
  • Acute intoxication can lead to severe health consequences.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the clinical presentation and outcomes of acute endosulfan intoxication.
  • To identify key indicators of severity and mortality.

Main Methods:

  • Case series of six patients with acute endosulfan poisoning.
  • Clinical assessment, laboratory analysis, and outcome monitoring.

Main Results:

  • Patients presented with nausea, vomiting, headache, and dizziness.
  • Common findings included metabolic acidosis, hyperglycemia, and thrombocytopenia.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Three patients experienced pulmonary aspiration, and five required mechanical ventilation.
  • The fatality was associated with high endosulfan blood levels (2.85 mg/L) and complications including renal failure, DIC, and cardiogenic shock.

    • Conclusions:

    • Acute endosulfan intoxication is a serious condition with significant morbidity.
    • Metabolic acidosis, hyperglycemia, thrombocytopenia, and respiratory compromise are key clinical features.
    • High endosulfan blood concentrations are linked to fatal outcomes.
