[Acute inhalation imidacloprid poisoning--a case report].

Abstract

According to the best of my knowledge this is the first report of acute intoxication with imidacloprid in Poland. The 48-years old women was admitted to the hospital because of the symptoms of gastroenteritis, which occurred after inhaled exposure to imidacloprid. Mild increase in leukocyte count was found in laboratory examination. The symptoms disappeared after 2 days of the treatment. For imidacloprid, regarded as safe for humans being, toxicity can occur through inhalation exposure.
