Abstract EN
Introduction: Paraquat is a widely used nitrogen-based herbicide which is lethal and causes multi-organ failure by accumulation in cells, which subsequently leads to death.
Case Presentation: The present case report introduced a 25-year-old male with nausea, vomiting, and severe substernal burning sensation after incidentally ingestion of a large amount of paraquat.
The treatment of the patient with antioxidants (N-acetylcysteine and vitamin E) and hemodialysis started immediately after arriving to the hospital.
Conclusions: Immediate and adequate use of antioxidants and hemodialysis has an undeniable and important role in survival of patients after ingestion of a large amount of paraquat.
