TY - JOUR PY - 1998// TI - Human sequelae of severe carbamate poisoning JO - Tennessee medicine A1 - Baban, N. K. A1 - Nunley, D. L. A1 - Borges, A. S. A1 - Roy, T. M. SP - 103 EP - 106 VL - 91 IS - 3 N2 - Carbofuran is a carbamate that functions as a cholinesterase inhibitor. Accidental or intentional ingestion can produce a life-threatening syndrome that requires prompt diagnosis and treatment. We describe a case of intentional carbofuran ingestion that resulted in coma, respiratory failure from acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), and cortical blindness.
