A case of a 43-year-old man with acute ingestion of Fenthion—an anticholinesterase insecticide—is reported here. Upon arrival in the Emergency Department, not only were patient’s decreased consciousness and the toxic symptoms of organophosphate intoxication observed, but a very low level of acetylcholinesterase activity (188 U/L) was also measured. After the diagnosis of organophosphate intoxication, the patient was gastric lavaged, and then treated with atropine and pralidoxime. During hospitalization, the patient suffered from complications of bradycardia and aspiration pneumonia. Because aspiration pneumonia was well controlled, the acetylcholinesterase activity was raised to 1,000 U/L, and the toxic symptoms disappeared—the patient was discharged after 11 days.
