Abstract

The time of occurrence of symptoms and signs depend on the route of exposure, poison load and chemical nature and solubility characteristics of the compound. Traditionally, symptoms are categorized as acute (minutes to hours) and delayed or late (days to weeks). The time of onset and mechanism of delayed manifestations such as intermediate syndrome,87 delayed onset coma and extrapyramidal manifestation are different to that of late manifestations such as organophosphate induced delayed polyneuropathy (OPIDP) that typically occurs after 2-3 weeks and up to 4-week post exposure. Patients of age group>18years and both sex with a history of exposure to OP compound were the study subjects. According to POP score, among 188 study participants, the severity of poisoning was mild in 69 patients, moderate in 82 patients and sever in 37 patients
