Abstract

Organophosphate (OP) insecticides are important compounds as the most probable common cause of acute poisonings in developing countries. OP intoxication often presents as medical emergencies, and its related morbidity and mortality have not decreased despite major advances in critical care. The present study was conducted to find the incidence of increased levels of serum amylase and serum lipase in OPC poisoning and to identify the relation with prognosis and clinical outcome, out of which one outcome was acute pancreatitis.
