Abstract

A case is reported of voluntary acute carbofuran poisoning. The clinical presentation was suggestive and i.v. atropine sulphate was immediately administered. In the absence of a specific antidote, curarization with pancuronium bromide with assisted ventilation and diazepam sedation was used to treat the persistent nicotinic myoclonic state. No rhabdomyolysis was observed.
