| Abstract | Suicidal poisoning by ingestion of organophosphate (OP) insecticides represents a serious emergency with a high mortality rate. However, attempted suicide via the parenteral route has rarely been reported. The present study reports a case of parasuicide by self-injection of an organophosphorus insecticide (phoxim, phenylglyoxylonitrile oxime O,O-diethyl phosphorothioate) into the distal region of the left arm. The patient developed necrosis at the injection site and an abscess of the affected limb following injection. A fasciotomy and surgical debridement resulted in the symptoms of the patient disappearing within a few days and were vital in shortening the course of the disease. |
