Acute long-acting anticoagulant rodenticide poisoning in pregnancy: a case report
The primary hazard associated with the ingestion of brodifacoum is hemorrhage, with clinical presentations varying from asymptomatic cases to overt bleeding, which may present as hematuria, epistaxis, menometrorrhagia, and intracranial hemorrhage. Therefore, the diagnosis and management of this type of poisoning pose significant challenges. Prompt recognition and ongoing care for pregnant individuals affected by rodenticide toxicity are crucial for optimizing maternal health outcomes.
