Abstract
, ABSTRACT Introduction: One of the phosphides that have been reported with poisoning is zinc phosphate. This darkness is also known as the rodent poison or the Rodenticide (zinc Phosphide), with its dark appearance. The aim of this study is investigate zinc phosphate toxicity in patients referred to Razi hospital in Ahvaz. Material and Methods: In an epidemiologic and hospital based study, zinc Phosphide poisoned patients referred to Razi Educational Hospital of Ahvaz were studied. The records of all patients with zinc phosphate poisoning were evaluated and demographic data were extracted from patients, including patients 'age.
