Abstract

Accidental poisoning in children is a common pediatric emergency. Here, we report the case of a 7-year-old girl with Amitraz poisoning. Ingestion and dermal contact with a dissolved solution of Amitraz lead to acute toxicity, which mimicked organophosphate poisoning. The patient lost consciousness which prompted their presentation to the pediatric emergency department. Limited literature is available regarding Amitraz poisoning. This case report attempts to document the findings and raise awareness to hasten identification and treatment of a rare and newer poison, Amitraz.
