Organophosphorus compound (OPC) pesticide poisoning is a very common form of poisoning in India because of its availability and easy access. Absorption can occur through gastrointestinal tract, skin and respiratory tract. Intramuscular or intravenous route of administration with suicidal intent is rare. Clinical features depend on the amount of the poison consumed, it's concentration, the route of administration and the time of instituting therapy.
We are reporting a rare case of intravenous injection of dimethoate (Rogor), which is an OPC pesticide, that was managed in our hospital.
