Abstract

We report on the acute poisoning of a 5-year-old boy by the herbicide "dichlorprop". This preparation is described as an effective means of plant protection. The effects of the intoxication were established by changes observed in almost all of the child's organs. The predominant effect was haemolytic anemia. All the pathological parameters regressed as a result of symptomatic therapy. General conclusions are drawn about intoxication, especially by means of plant protection agents.
