  • Title: [Clinical findings and treatment of paraquat poisoning in childhood].
    Author: Roth B, Bulla M, von Lilien T, Statz A, Okonek S.
    Journal: Monatsschr Kinderheilkd; 1983 Jul; 131(7):458-63. PubMed ID: 6621563.
    Abstract:
    Two of three children with Paraquat poisoning were treated with hemoperfusion. All patients survived. One patient had an acute renal failure after the intoxication. A percutaneous poisoning is discussed in one child with large skin necrosis after direct contact with Paraquat. An irreversible lung fibrosis did not set in. The prognosis for a patient with Paraquat intoxication depends on a speedy and consistent detoxication from both the bowel and from the blood by hemoperfusion. This is the only way to survive the acute intoxication and to avoid lung fibrosis, that would lead to death.
