Abstract
Pretilachlor is a chloracetanilide herbicide whose acute intoxication in
humans via ingestion has been rarely reported. We report a case of
suicidal ingestion of the herbicide with similar clinical manifestations
of organophosphate toxicity. Awareness among clinicians regarding such
mimickers is the key to proper management of the patient.22 Aug 2020Submitted to Clinical Case Reports 25 Aug 2020Assigned to Editor
