  • Title: Prolonged cholestasis after acute paraquat poisoning through skin absorption.
    Author: Bataller R, Bragulat E, Nogué S, Görbig MN, Bruguera M, Rodés J.
    Journal: Am J Gastroenterol; 2000 May; 95(5):1340-3. PubMed ID: 10811350.
    Abstract:
    Ingestion of paraquat is the most common cause of fatal pesticide poisoning. Liver involvement in acute paraquat poisoning is self-limited and usually consists of cholestasis. However, long-term hepatic effects after paraquat exposition have not been described up to now, probably because of the high mortality rate of this acute poisoning. We report the case of an agricultural worker who developed persistent cholestasis after an episode of acute paraquat poisoning through skin absorption.
