    Area of Science:

    • Toxicology
    • Environmental Health

    Background:

    • Endrin, a cyclodiene organic chloride insecticide, is known for causing fatal poisoning.
    • Exposure routes include food contamination, suicide, and occupational incidents.

    Observation:

    • A case report details an 18-month-old infant ingesting household Endrin used as a raticide.
    • The infant experienced sudden seizures, coma, and death within 24 hours.

    Findings:

    • Pathological findings in the infant were non-specific.
    • Symptoms align with documented clinical observations and experimental studies of Endrin poisoning in other cases.

    Implications:

    • Discusses the etiopathogenesis of Endrin poisoning.
    • Highlights the critical need for controlling Endrin due to the lack of an effective antidote and its severe toxicity.
