Strategies for Enduring Severe Paraquat Consumption: Case Report and a Literature Review

Navid Khosravi, Homa Talabaki*

Paraquat Dichloride (PQ) poisoning could develop serious acute medical complications that have a high case fatality rate. There is inadequate evidence-based recommendation for the treatment, even with active treatment, the fatality rate is high. PQs are known to interfere with various cell signaling pathways, induce the formation of Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS), and ultimately cause cell damage. In the current study, we sought to provide treatment strategies in patients with PQ poisoning and then describe a case that consumed an enormous of PQ that successfully treated.
