Abstract
- Dicamba is 3, 6-dichloro-2-methoxybenzoic acid and classified as a chemically related chlorophenoxy herbicide. This herbicide has been widely used for control of broad-leaved weeds. The poisoning is uncommon and of low toxicity, but massive self-ingestion may be fatal. We experienced a case of dicamba poisoning with rhabdomyolysis and acute renal failure in a 53-year-old male. This patient showed vomiting, confused mental status, and myotonia. Electrolyte abnormalities, rhabdomyolysis, and acute renal failure also developed together with fever, hepatotoxicity, pancreatic toxicity, hematologic abnormalities and cardiac ischemia. He was treated by 7 sessions of hemodialysis with supportive treatment and recovered.
