In-hospital outcomes and delayed neurologic sequelae of seizure-related endosulfan poisoning

Seizure-related endosulfan poisoning had higher progression rates to SE and RSE and higher fatality rates than other drug-induced seizures. However, delayed neurologic sequelae after discharge were not demonstrated. Due to the high progression rates from seizure-related endosulfan poisoning to SE and RSE and the absence of an established treatment for SE-related endosulfan poisoning, physicians should aggressively treat patients who experience a seizure after endosulfan poisoning and who present with decreased GCS score. Lorazepam should be considered a first-line anti-epileptic drug for controlling seizures in patients with endosulfan poisoning.
