Late and Interrupted Oxime Therapy In An Intermediate Syndrome Following Chlorpyrifos Poisoning: Case Report
Öz
Intermediate syndrome (IMS) is characterized by weakness of proximal limb and respiratory muscles, neck
flexors, and cranial nerves. Several hypothesis have been developed to explain its etiology (neuromuscular
junction disfunction, inadequate or late oxime therapy, prolonged and severe inhibition of
acetylcholinesterase). Chlorpyrifos is a organophosphate with relatively low toxicity. IMS secondary to
chlorpyrifos is very rare. We report a case of 56-year-old man who developed an IMS after chlorpyrifos
ingestion. Although he presented with cholinergic symptoms initially, his mental and respiratory status
deteriorated and profound motor paralysis consistent with IMS occurred on the second day. The patient
required ventilatory support. Pralidoxime could only be administered late (52 hours post-ingestion), and
intermittently for 23 days. The course of the patient was complicated with ventilator-associated pneumonia
and septic shock, but after 32 days he was discharged. This case suggests that patients suffering from
chlorpyrifos intoxication can be under the risk of IMS.
