Abstract
Electromyographic neuromuscular testing was performed for two patients with a very low blood cholinesterase activity due to suicidal poisoning with organophosphorous pesticides. Electromyographic results did not differ significantly from those obtained in healthy nonexposed adults. Neuromuscular synapse functioning was normal, as was determined by electromyography. Neurological signs and symptoms are described in detail.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
