Abstract
The agricultural use of organophosphorus, organochlorine, carbamate, pyrethroid, and nitrogen-based insecticides to protect crops from insects has increased enormously in recent years. In India the ready availability of these insecticides has led to a huge increase in human poisoning. The insecticide imidacloprid, 1- [(6-chloro-3-pyridinylmethyl)]-4, 5-dihydro-N-nitro-1H-imidazol- 2-amine, is often misused for homicidal or suicidal purposes. Imidacloprid is newer systemic insecticide, a nicotine analogue, acts on the nervous system. Patient can present with variable manifestations like irritability, labored breathing, emaciation, twitching and delirium. We report a case of self-poisoning with imidacloprid with severe neuropsychiatric symptoms, respiratory failure leading to death.
