Management of Lambda-Cyhalothrin Poisoning in a North Indian Healthcare Setup: A Rare Case

Agricultural product (insecticides and pesticides) poisoning is common in the rural Indian setup, and in most cases, it occurs due to suicidal attempts rather than accidental intake. Furthermore, most cases of agrochemical poisoning are organophosphate poisoning rather than other less commonly used...

description Agricultural product (insecticides and pesticides) poisoning is common in the rural Indian setup, and in most cases, it occurs due to suicidal attempts rather than accidental intake. Furthermore, most cases of agrochemical poisoning are organophosphate poisoning rather than other less commonly used pesticides. Lambda-cyhalothrin is a less commonly used insecticide in India, and there have been a few instances in the literature where lambda-cyhalothrin poisoning and its subsequent management have been described. In this case report, we describe accidental lambda-cyhalothrin poisoning in a 26-year-old female and its management at our center.
