    Abstract:
    Paraquat poisoning has been associated with very high mortality. The toxic mechanism is considered to be related to the production of superoxide ions. Review of the literatures reveals that with vigorous treatment recovery from poisoning is not impossible. Clinical experience in four cases of paraquat poisoning and the principles of management of this intoxication are presented.
