Abstract

Aluminium phosphide (AIP) is a solid fumigant commonly used as a rice tablet for pest controls in various stored products in India. There has been an increase use of aluminium phosphide for suicidal purpose due to its easy availability. Although AIP affects all the systems, stroke is rare in AIP cases. Hence, we report a 48 year old gentleman who had consumed 2 tablets of AIP with suicidal intent who developed stroke after a stable initial course in hospital.

Keywords: Aluminium phosphide; Poisoning; Delayed presentation; Stroke.
