The increasing incidence of human poisoning by herbicides arises either from their wide (and sometimes irrational) agricultural use or abuse for suicidal (rarely homicdal) purposes. From the viewpoint of clinical toxicology the intoxisations by dipyrridiles, dinitrophenols and dervivates of phenoxysarbonic acids are of great importance. Due to high acute toxicity of these herbicide compounds accidental or intentional poisonings are mainly characterized by serious morphological damages and complex functional disorders of almost all parenchimatous organs. In spite of urgent treatment and intensive care measures the mortality rate in these intoxications is still high. Based on personal clinical experience in herbicide intoxication and data from literature, the mechanisms of their action, clinical features, current treatment regimen and prognostic elements are reviewed.
