G Massano, and C Torre, and G Triolo, and P Stratta, and L Parigi

Two cases of Paraquat poisoning of anticonservative origin are described. A brief account of the chemical composition and mechanism of action of Paraquat is followed by a discussion of the clinical and therapeutic features of the two cases. The anatomopathological findings obtained from lung specimens examined during necropsy are also described. Personal experience and the literature data are cited in an explanation of what is currently regarded as the most effective treatment protocol.
