Management of pyrethroid exposure.
Severe pyrethroid insecticide poisoning is uncommon in the developed world, but more common in developing countries because of its wide use in agriculture. This short review proposes a management strategy for pyrethroid poisoning based on the present literature. It also mentions an experimental approach, which will require further study in animals and may have eventual relevance for man.
