Abstract
Intentional consumption of pesticides is a very common method of suicide in rural India. The easy availability of pesticides in rural households and the lethal effect they have on humans has led to an increasing number of cases every year. We present a case of 40 year old male presenting with hemolysis secondary to consumption of Chlorpyriphos, an organophosphorus compound. Hemolysis presenting in a case of organophosphorus compound is a rare manifestation. In our case, the patient presented with dark colored urine ten days after the consumption which has not been seen or reported before.
Keywords : Pesticides, Suicide, Organophosphorus Compounds, Hemolysis, Poisoning.
