Abstract :

 Organophosphorus compounds are commonly used insecticide poisons in India due to easy availability and use in agriculture. They reduce acetylcholinesterase levels in serum and RBCs. Serum levels of serum creatine kinase often elevates in Organophosphorus poisoning cases. This study was conducted to see the correlation of serum creatine kinase levels correlation with organophosphorus poisoning case severity and prognosis. 40 patients were selected with exposure to organophosphorus compounds and their serum creatine kinase levels were evaluated on day one prior to initiation of treatment and it was correlated with outcome of patients, total dose of atropine used in treatment and duration of stay in hospital.
