Amitraz Poisoning: An Under Recognised and Unusual Poisoning: A Case Report
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 8
Abstract
Amitraz poisoning is an unusual, but definitely with a potential to become lethal poisoning. Amitraz is a Triazapentadiene – a α2 adrenergic agonist used widely in veterinary and agricultural field for the treatment of Ectoparasitic infestation. We report a case presented to our ER after two hours of ingestion of AMITRAZ. On examination patient was comatose with response to only deep painful stimuli. She was also in bradycardia, hypotension and metabolic acidosis. The patient was managed with symptomatic treatment. Patient’s condition started to improve after 18 hrs of admission and she was discharged after 4 days. Though Amitraz poisoning can be fatal, if identified and treated well within time, even with minimal symptomatic management we can save the patient to complete recovery
