Organophosphorus pesticide poisoning is a major problem in the developing world for which health care is often not available. Many patients in these regions die before they reach health care centres1,2 and in absence of accurate identification of the poisonous substance treatment becomes further difficult. A pilot study was conducted on patients admitted with organophosphorus (O.P.) poisoning to our trauma and emergency care unit from January 2010 to March 2010.Total number of 50 cases were admitted during the study period, in that, some of them were diazepam/benzodiazepam positive.
