| dc.description.abstract | Parasuicide by ingestion of organophosphate (OP) insecticides is common in Sri Lanka, but the use of the parateral route to self administer the poison is extremely rare. We report a patient who deliberately injected herself intramuscularly with an OP compound with suicidal intent. The clinical manifestations of OP poisoning were unpredictable and posed a therapeutic problem | en_US |
