Abstract:
Celphos poisoning is one of the common poisonings in agricultural countries such as India, mainly in rural areas. Its clinical manifestations vary depending on the amount of poison consumed and the time since ingestion. It has a very high fatality rate. As of now, there is no specific antidote available for this poisoning. Its management includes intensive monitoring along with immediate initiation of supportive care. It is associated with multisystem involvement with multiorgan failure in severe cases, but hematological complications are not very common. Here, we present a successfully treated case of a young male with accidental consumption of Celphos poison with delayed presentation to a tertiary health care center. His clinical features were suggestive of hemolysis. On further evaluation, he was found to have glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency.

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.
