Three cases of poisoning by organophosphate dimethoate are described and the importance of correct diagnosis and adequate treatment emphasized. Therapy consists of large doses of atropine, to counteract the muscarinic and other effects on the central nervous system, followed by a reactivator (e.g. toxogonin) to reverse muscle weakness (nicotinic effects).
