Core Tip

Core Tip: The clinical manifestations of diquat poisoning are mainly local mucosal injury and multiple organ damage. The earlier organ function damage occurs, and the more systems are involved, the poorer the prognosis is. In addition, the prognosis of patients is significantly correlated with the poisoning dose, and fulminant poisoning has a high mortality rate. In the treatment of patients, early and adequate removal of toxins is the focus of treatment, and comprehensive and systematic organ function evaluation and support is also an important part of treatment.
