Acute Symptomatic Amitraz Intoxication

Amitraz is an insecticide that is frequently used as a pesticide in the world and in our country. Amitraz poisoning is rare and usually occurs in pediatric age groups. Central nervous system and respiratory depression, hypotension, bradycardia and hyperglycemia are mainly observed in poisoned patients. There is no specific antidote and treatment includes symptomatic measures. Herein, we report a 38-year-old male patient who ingested a glass of Kenaz solution (about 100 mL) as a suicidal attempt and admitted to our emergency department with hypotension, vomiting, and bradycardia.

Amitraz tarım ilacı olarak dünyada ve ülkemizde sıklıkla kullanılan bir insektisittir. Amitraz zehirlenmesi nadirdir ve genellikle pediatrik yaş gruplarında görülür.

Biz de burada özkıyım amacıyla bir bardak Kenaz solüsyonu (yaklaşık 100 mL) içen ve hipotansiyon, kusma ve bradikardi ile acil servisimize başvuran 38 yaşında bir erkek hastayı sunuyoruz.
