[Fatal poisonings with propoxur].

J Pfordt, H Magerl, R Vock

    Zeitschrift Fur Rechtsmedizin. Journal of Legal Medicine
    |January 1, 1987
    PubMed
    Summary

    Propoxur insecticide poisoning, though rare, can be fatal, particularly after intentional ingestion or accidental inhalation. Alcohol may exacerbate propoxur toxicity, warranting further investigation.

    Area of Science:

    • Toxicology
    • Pharmacology

    Context:

    • Propoxur is a carbamate insecticide that inhibits cholinesterase.
    • Its toxicity is considered low compared to organophosphates, with reversible inhibition.
    • Fatal propoxur intoxications are infrequently reported.

    Purpose:

    • To investigate the toxicological and histological findings in fatal propoxur poisoning cases.
    • To analyze the role of alcohol in propoxur toxicity.

    Summary:

    • Eight cases of propoxur intoxication were observed, seven suicidal and one accidental.
    • Toxicological and histological analyses were performed on organs and body fluids.
    • The combination of propoxur and alcohol was specifically examined.

    Impact:

    • Provides data on the clinical and pathological features of propoxur poisoning.
    • Highlights the potential for severe outcomes, even with perceived lower toxicity.
    • Suggests a need for caution regarding alcohol consumption during propoxur exposure.
