Abstract
The present study was conducted on paraquat poisoning cases, from January 2017
to January 2018, a total of 9 patients of paraquat poisoning transferred to our referral
Toxicology center. Six of them survived. Paraquat is one of the most used herbicides,
a non-selective, killing green plants on contact. It is very toxic for human. We used
immunosuppressant and antioxidant drugs in most cases. In addition, many patients
were given gastrointestinal decontamination and activated charcoal at a local hospital
before transferring to our center. According to our treatments, early management and
hemoperfusion after ingestion can increase the rate of survival.
