A Study of Acute Inflammation in Paraquat Poisoning and it’s Correlation Within-Hospital Outcome

Abstract

Background
Paraquat poisoning remains a significant health concern with high mortality rates due to its severe 
multi-organ toxicity.1 Paraquat (1, 1-dimethyl-4, 4-bipyridium dichloride) ingestion is a major cause 
of fatal poisoning in South East Asia.2
Its mortality rate is as high as 50- 90 %.3 This study aimed to 
evaluate acute inflammation in Paraquat poisoning and correlate it with in-hospital outcomes, 
seeking to enhance understanding of the condition's pathophysiology and potential prognostic 
indicators
