Abstract

Only a small number of organophosphorous compounds, of the many thousands circulating on the market, has been reported as causing neuropathy with delayed onset. A case is presented of a young male who in an attempt to commit suicide by taking a massive dose of Mecarbam, developed polyneuropathy accompanied by a mild involvement of the CNS. Mecarbam is herewith reported for the first time as an agent which can affect the peripheral nervous system.
