Amitraz Poisoning: A Case Report

Amitraz  poisoning  is  rare  and  there  has  been  no  reported  cases  in  the  Malaysian literature.  Ingestion  of  this  compound  carries  many  life  threatening  side  effects.  We describe  a  case  of  Amitraz  poisoning  in  an  18  years  old  young  adult.  He  developed hypotension, required ventilatory support and a day of intensive care unit stay. He had a quick recovery after he was treated symptomatically and was discharged well after 3 days.
