Insecticide poisoning in pregnancy. A case report
A 25-year-old multigravida drank an organochlorine insecticide in an attempt to commit suicide at 16 weeks of pregnancy. This resulted in the death of twin fetuses and vaginal bleeding. The pregnancy was terminated using gemeprost, syntocinon and later surgical evacuation of the uterus. She developed respiratory arrest after the fetuses were aborted and also after surgical evacuation. On both occasions, she was intubated and mechanically ventilated. We believe that organochlorine insecticides may be fetocidal. In addition, surges in blood levels may occur during termination of pregnancy, delivery or evacuation of retained products of conception.
