Abstract
Determination of serum pseudocholinesterase activity is diagnostically useful since there is a good correlation between this measurement and degree of enzyme inhibition caused by toxic organophosphate inhibitors. Two patients who ingested malathion and diazinon were reported. Atropine was administered to increase enzyme levels.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
