  • Title: Human sequelae of severe carbamate poisoning.
    Author: Baban NK, Nunley DL, Borges AS, Roy TM.
    Journal: Tenn Med; 1998 Mar; 91(3):103-6. PubMed ID: 9523504.
    Abstract:
    Carbofuran is a carbamate that functions as a cholinesterase inhibitor. Accidental or intentional ingestion can produce a life-threatening syndrome that requires prompt diagnosis and treatment. We describe a case of intentional carbofuran ingestion that resulted in coma, respiratory failure from acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), and cortical blindness.
