Abstract
A 32-yr-old male with acute organophosphate [coumaphos, insecticide] poisoning developed hyperglycemia, glycosuria and ketonuria soon after admission to a hospital. Serum amylase estimations suggested a diagnosis of acute pancreatitis. He required insulin therapy to control his hyperglycemia and the organophosphate poisoning was successfully managed by artificial ventilation, an infusion of pralidoxime and intermittent atropine. He was discharged on the 17th hospital day with no permanent physical sequelae.
