Abstract
Objectives: 1) To study the clinical profile of patients of nonorganophosphate and nonorganochlorine compounds poisoning. 2) To study the clinical manifestations and outcome of different poisonings. Material and methods: Patients of nonorganophosphate and nonorganochlorine compounds poisoning admitted over 24 months in a tertiary care hospital were studied for clinical profile and outcome. Results: Among 155 patients, 37.4% of patients were between 3rd and 4th decade and 29.03% of patients were between 1st and 2nd decade. Eighty-one patients were male and 74 were females. There was no significant difference according to gender (p = 0.838). About 92.09% were due to suicidal intention and 5.16 were accidental in nature; 1.93% occurred under the influence of alcohol. The route of exposure was oral in all patients (100%). About 26.45% were manual laborers, 23.87% were housewives, 21.29% were farmers and 18.06% were students. Most common poisoning was rodenticide poisoning (49.03%); 6.38% patients (13) died (p = 0.822). Conclusions: There was no significant gender difference. The route of exposure was oral in all. The most common poisoning was rodenticide poisoning. The most common intention was suicidal and most patients survived.
