BACKGROUND: Herbicides are commonly ingested for self-harm, but relatively little has been published on poisoning with herbicides other than paraquat and glyphosate. We report here a case series of patients with acute exposure to a combination herbicide (brand name Tiller Gold or Whip Super) containing the selective phenoxy herbicide compounds fenoxaprop-P-ethyl and ethoxysulfuron and a safener isoxadifen ethyl.
METHOD: Clinical data on all patients presenting with Tiller Gold or Whip Super poisoning to two General Hospitals in Sri Lanka from 2002-2008 were collected prospectively until discharge.
RESULTS: Eighty-six patients with a history of Tiller Gold or Whip Super ingestion were included. The main clinical features were an epigastric burning sensation and vomiting; however, most of those who vomited had received gastric lavage or forced emesis. Eight patients had a reduced level of consciousness on admission (Glasgow coma scale 9-14) that resolved without intervention over several hours. Only symptomatic and supportive care was required. The median hospital stay was 1 day (IQR: 1-2) and the case fatality was zero (95% confidence interval: 0-4.2%). This low case fatality compared favorably with the case fatality of other common herbicides in our cohort: paraquat >40%, propanil >10%, 4-chloro-2-methylphenoxyacetic acid > 5%, and glyphosate >2%.
CONCLUSION: This combination herbicide product appears to be safe in patients with acute self-poisoning, particularly in comparison with other herbicides, and causing few clinical features.
