Paraquat poisoning presenting as sinus bradycardia; a rare clinical manifestation

Paraquat poisoning is a common yet fatal consequence in rural India. Usually it presents with local corrosive effects and early multi organ dysfunction involving lungs, liver and kidney. Here we present a case of a 25 years old man who presented with paraquat poisoning and developed asymptomatic bradycardia after admission. He was treated conservatively with isoprenaline drip, N-acetyl cysteine, steroids and other supportive therapy. The bradycardia recovered spontaneously and patient was discharged.

Abstract

Paraquat poisoning is a common yet fatal consequence in rural India. Usually it presents with local corrosive effects and early multi organ dysfunction involving lungs, liver and kidney. Here we present a case of a 25 years old man who presented with paraquat poisoning and developed asymptomatic bradycardia after admission. He was treated conservatively with isoprenaline drip, N-acetyl cysteine, steroids and other supportive therapy. The bradycardia recovered spontaneously and patient was discharged.
