INTRODUCTION: Poisoning by organophos phosphorous Pesticides (OP) has reached epidemic proportions in most parts of the world, particularly in developing agrarian countries, where the toxicity of available poisons and paucity of appropriate medical facilities ensure a high fatality rate. AIM OF THE STUDY: To estimate serum Amylase levels in acute organophos phorus compound poisoning. To find out its relationship with clinical severity and outcome MATERIALS AND METHODS: Patients presenting with Organophos phorous poisoning were the study subjects. Patients with organophos phorus compound poisoning admitted to the hospital during the study period,100 were included in the study. mahatma gandhi memorial hospital, warangal telangana (MGMH) March 2018 To October 2019 For A Period Of 20 Months.
