Özet
Amitraz is an insecticide/acaricide of formamidine pesticides used worldwide to control ectoparasites in animals. Amitraz poisoning is a rare disorder characterized by central nervous system (CNS) and respiratory depression, bradycardia, hypotension, hypothermia, hyperglycemia, nausea and vomiting. Poisoning may occur either by oral inhalation and dermal route. In this study, we present seven pediatric patients with amitraz poisoning. The initial symptoms were unconsciousness, dizziness and vomiting; and emerged within 30-150 minutes. The length of stay in the intensive care unit (ICU) was between 18-62 hours.
