title: [Neurologic complications in organophosphate insecticide poisoning in children].
abstract: The authors report three cases of poisoning with organic phosphate compounds in children. The first case presented a complex of late signs in the form of toxic polyneuropathy, and two had an acute course. The observation confirmed the view that an at least 7-day hospital stay and 4-week follow-up are necessary in view of great fluctuations in the level of cholinesterase which is often not correlated with the clinical status.
