Organophosphate (OP) poisonings can cause serious clinical outcome. These
poisonings generally occur after oral, inhalation or skin exposures of OP.
However, OP poisoning occurred after parenteral administration is rare. The
injection of OP to the body can cause different clinical results such as local
complications and systemic toxicity. In some cases with acute OP poisoning,
the intermediate syndrome may develop which can life threatens as a result
of respiratory muscle weakness after 1-4 days of exposure. In this study, we
reported a case admitted to the Emergency Department after intramuscular
injection of OP to himself and developed intermediate syndrome during the
observation, and we also discussed the required clinical precautions after
OP injection
