This document discusses organophosphorus poisoning. It covers the types and uses of organophosphates, their metabolism and mechanism of action by inhibiting acetylcholinesterase, and the resulting clinical features. Diagnosis involves looking for a history of exposure and measuring plasma butyrylcholinesterase and red blood cell acetylcholinesterase levels. Treatment consists of atropine to block muscarinic receptors, pralidoxime as a cholinesterase reactivator, and supportive care.
