Abstract | OBJECTIVE: PATIENT: INTERVENTIONS: MEASUREMENTS AND RESULTS:
Pirimicarb stomach, blood, and urine levels were determined on admission and during hospitalisation. Using an one-compartment model the pesticide elimination was estimated and its terminal half-life in plasma, t1/2, was found to be 3.8 hours. The butyryl cholinesterase (BChE) activity was at the lower level of detection on the admission and recovered during the following 24 hours.
