This study was aimed at assessing prevalence, circumstance, and management of
acute pesticide poisoning in hospitals in Kampala. It was a retrospective
cross-sectional study that involved reviewing of 739 poisoning patient records
from 5 hospitals in Kampala. Of the 739 patients, 212 were due to pesticide
poisoning resulting in a prevalence of 28.8%. About 91.4% (191/210) of the cases
were due to organophosphate poisoning, 63.3% (133/210) were intentional, and
98.1% (206/210) were exposed through ingestion. Diagnosis was majorly based on
poisoning history 91.2% (187/205), and clinical features such as airways,
breathing, and circulation examination 48.0% (95/198); nausea and vomiting 42.9%
(91/212); muscle weakness 29.7% (63/212); excessive salivation 23.1% (49/212);
and confusion 20.3% (43/212). More than half of the patients admitted were
treated using atropine 52.3% (113/212). The prevalence of acute pesticide
poisoning was high with most managed based on physical and clinical examination.
