PROLONGED TOXICITY OF ORGANO-PHOSPHATE POISONING CRITICAL CARE MEDICINE Merrill, D. G., Mihm, F. G. 1982; 10 (8): 550-557

Abstract

A case of poisoning with a new organophosphate (fenthion) is reported in which the initial cholinergic crisis was delayed 5 days and recurred 24 days after ingestion. Psychosis was a persistent and sometimes singular manifestation. Because of the high lipid solubility of this pesticide, toxin analysis of repeated fat biopsies was an essential component of the management of this patient.
