TY - JOUR PY - 2016// TI - Chlorantraniliprole: an unusual insecticide poisoning in humans JO - Indian journal of critical care medicine A1 - Mishra, Ajay Kumar A1 - Chandiraseharan, Vignesh Kumar A1 - Jose, Nisha A1 - Sudarsanam, Thambu David SP - 742 EP - 744 VL - 20 IS - 12 N2 - A 26-year-old female presented with deliberate self-harm using chlorantraniliprole, an unknown substance in human toxicology. She developed symptomatic Mobitz Type I atrioventricular block during observation, for which a temporary pacemaker was inserted. She reverted to sinus rhythm after 48 h and was discharged. Although claimed to be nontoxic to humans, chlorantraniliprole, an insecticide, could cause conduction defects by activating ryanodine receptors. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case of chlorantraniliprole poisoning reported in the medical literature.
