| Abstract | Introduction:: Propanil is a pesticide with medium to low toxicity for mammals, but heavy ingestion of the poison can produce significant clinical manifestation. However, it has been reported rarely worldwide. Case report:: A 15year old girl ingested propanil in a suicide attempt. The patient developed methaemoglobinemia, respiratory distress and decreased level of consciousness which needs intubation and paediatric intensive unit management. Discussion:: Since the mechanisms responsible for the clinical manifestation of propanil are tissue hypoxia and methaemoglobinemia, the diagnosis and treatment of them could be lifesaving for the patient. | en |
