Abstract:
We encountered a case of mixed poisoning by organophosphate and methanol. Each poisoning was comparatively frequent but we reviewed no cases of mixed poisoning of them. A 49-year-old woman was transferred to our hospital because of oral ingestion of organophosphorous compound (about 14 g of fenitrothion) and glass cleaner (about 40 g of methanol) for suicidal purpose. She underwent general antioverdose treatment including gastric lavage, activated charcoal and cathartics. For fenitrothion poisoning, she received atropine and pralidoxime. For methanol poisoning, she was treated with hemodialysis. Three days later, she moved to psychiatric ward from emergency ward without aftereffects and was given a diagnosis of depression.

Toxic Reactions: Overview
Toxicity falls into two primary categories: local and systemic.
Local toxicity appears at the exposure site, such as protein denaturation caused by caustic substances.
In contrast, systemic toxicity requires the toxic agent's absorption and distribution,...
