Abstract

Pyrethroids are one of the most common insecticides and havebeen known as safe household insecticides. They are highly toxicfor insects whereas they are low in toxicity for mammals. Poisoningsyndromes occur via oral, dermal or respiratory exposure. Dermalparaesthesia is the most common symptom in cases of unintentionaldermal exposure. Although mild dermal paraesthesia cases arecommonly seen after occupational exposure, severe cases are rarein the literature. Thus, emergency physicians may have difficultiesin terms of managing these patients. Here, we report a child withdiffuse paraesthesia and agitation after 24 hours from insecticideexposure. The patient was well treated with topical vitamin E in ourpediatric emergency department.

Özet

Piretroidler, yaygın şekilde kullanılan ve güvenli olarak bilinen ev içi böcek ilaçlarıdır. Memeliler için düşük toksik etki gösterirken, böcekler için yüksek düzeyde toksiktirler. Zehirlenme oral, deri veya solunum yolu ile maruziyet sonrasında ortaya çıkar. Parestezi, deri yolu ile maruziyet sonrasında görülen en yaygın semptomdur. Hafif parestezi olguları mesleki maruziyetten sonra sıklıkla görülmekle birlikte, literatürde ciddi olgular nadirdir, bu nedenle acil hekimler bu hastaların yönetiminde sıkıntı yaşayabilmektedirler. Burada çocuk acil servisimizde böcek ilacına maruz kaldıktan 24 saat sonra yaygın parestezi ve ajitasyonu olan ve topikal E vitamini ile başarılı şekilde tedavi edilmiş bir çocuğu sunuyoruz.
