Abstract
Organophosphorus compounds are common cause of pesticide poisoning worldwide leading to high morbidity and mortality especially in developing countries. We conducted a hospital-based observational descriptive study comprising of 406 patients with alleged history of organophosphorous ingestion in Fakhruddin Ali Ahmed Medical College Hospital, Assam over one year period to observe the clinical features and correlate severity with prognosis. In our study, the majority of patients were female(61.58%) and were in the third decade of life(39.16%). There was wide variety of clinical presentations. Accordingly, 51(12.56%) of total cases presented with mild severity, 348(85.71%) with moderate and 7(1.72%) with severe grade as per Peradeniya Organophosphorous Poisoning(POP) scale. 15 out of 348 patients(4.310 %) of moderate severity expired, while 6 patients(85.71%) died in severe category group. A total of 14 male(8.97%) cases died out of 156 and 7(2.8%) female cases died out of 250 cases.
