Abstract

A 52-year-old comatose white male was admitted to the hospital with what was later learned to be severe poisoning by a turpentine solution of dicrotophos, an organophosphorous insecticide he had ingested while drunk. The patient was treated effectively with atropine and pralidoxime chloride and required the largest doses of both agents reported to data. The case was complicated by difficulty in evaluating the response to therapy because of the effects of alcohol and turpentine. The patient was discharged from the hospital on the thirty-third day with no apparent sequelae.
