Zusammenfassung: | : A 42‐year‐old pregnant woman (26 weeks of gestation, G4P0+3) presented at the emergency department with a two‐hour history of dizziness, blurred vision and repeated vomiting. These symptoms started during the use of an undiluted insecticide liquid (diazinon 60 EC) while cleaning a small non‐aired bathroom. After clinical and laboratory confirmation for organophosphate poisoning (plasma pseudocholinesterase levels 161 U/l), treatment with atropine and pralidoxime was started. She recovered within 7 days and delivered a healthy baby 12 weeks later (Apgar score 9 and 10) by elective cesarean section. The child showed no signs or symptoms of organophospate, atropine or pralidoxime exposure. |
