    Author: Póder G, Oszvald P, Hegyi L, Mezei G, Schmidt Z.
    Journal: Acta Paediatr Hung; 1985; 26(1):53-9. PubMed ID: 3986052.
    Abstract:
    Poisoning by paraquat, a plant-protecting agent, its clinical manifestations and treatment are discussed. The case of a 5-year-old boy who had ingested an unknown quantity of paraquat is described. Peritoneal dialysis proved to be effective in overcoming renal and hepatic failure. Subsequently, a pulmonary lesion with unilateral preponderance developed; this showed marked radiological regression and in a year nearly complete functional recovery ensued.
