Resumen |
In 3 of 10 cases described, accidental exposure to Tamaron occurred as a result of agricultural spraying operations. Patients had an acute cholinergic crisis soon after exposure and polyneuropathy developed 2-3 weeks later. No prior evidence of polyneuropathy associated with Tamaron, or the active ingredient methamidophos (MP) exists. No evidence of impurity involvement in the polyneuropathy was found and alterations in the pharmacokinetics of MP are implicated as a result of preliminary experiments with hens. |
