[A case of rhabdomyolysis caused by acute thiamethoxam poisoning]

Abstract:
Thiamethoxam belongs to the second-generation neonicotinoid insecticides, mainly acting on nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChR) . Severe poisoning cases can lead to respiratory failure, shock, and even death. There are relatively few reports on thiamethoxam poisoning, and few literature reports on concurrent rhabdomyolysis cases have been found so far. This article reviews the treatment process of a case of oral thiamethoxam poisoning. The patient developed mild rhabdomyolysis (CK: 1581 U/l) and renal dysfunction (creatinine: 127 μmol/L) immediately after taking the medication, reaching its peak on the second day (CK: 16329 U/l) . After active treatment (such as Blood purification, drainage, gastrointestinal decompression and organ support) , the symptoms of rhabdosis gradually improved and the patient was discharged. It is suggested that when treating thiamethoxam poisoning, the occurrence of rhabdomyolysis syndrome should be concerned.

Prevention of Further Absorption of Poison
Enhanced Elimination of Poison
Antidotes serve a crucial role in counteracting the effects of poison by inhibiting enzymes responsible for producing harmful drug metabolites. In some cases, these toxic metabolites can be neutralized by endogenous cosubstrates, which are maintained at specific concentrations to prevent interaction with cellular macromolecules and subsequent cell death.

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,...
