abstract="Poisoning is one of the commonest methods employed for committing suicide, especially in Developing countries like Bangladesh. In this retrospective study, a  total of 114 organophosphorus poisoningcases autopsied at Sir Salimullah Medical  College morgue, Dhaka, Bangladesh, were analyzed during the period from January 2016  to December 2017. Male predominance was noted accounting for 75% of total cases  compared to females 25% cases. Most common age group involved was 21-30 years 31%  followed by 31-40 years 22% belonging to lower socioeconomic status. Suicide was the  commonest manner of death in majority of cases. The reason may be the increasing  stress in the family and economic constraints. Accidental deaths due to occupational  exposure or inhalation of OPC compounds are reported but in these cases mortality  rate is less than that suicidal poisoning. To reduce poisoning cases proper emphasis  should be given for safe use of pesticides and consciousness should becreated among  the population about poisonous compounds.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
