OSORIO MARTINEZ, David Alejandro; VELEZ PARRA, Guillermo César e BERROUET MEJIA, Marie Claire. Serviceability of tomography in paraquat poisoning: a case report. Revista médica Risaralda [online]. 2022, vol.28, n.2, pp.187-194. Epub 29-Dez-2022. ISSN 0122-0667. https://doi.org/10.22517/25395203.25016.
Paraquat is a pesticide from the group of herbicides associated with high morbidity and mortality after ingestion with suicidal intent. Within the prognostic aids, in the patient intoxicated by this substance, the international literature considers the chest tomography and its findings. However, in Colombia, there are no reports at the national level, nor is there any inclusion of this parameter within the guidelines of the Ministry of Health. We report the case of a patient with a late diagnosis of paraquat poisoning, admission tomography did not indicate pulmonary compromise, so treatment was started and favorable results related to the patient's survival were obtained.
