Abstract
Intermediate syndrome is not an uncommon condition, it may occur following exposure to organophosphates, either accidental or suicidal. Picture of intermediate syndrome can develop within 24 to 96 h. We report the case of a 41-year-old male patient, who had a picture of intermediate syndrome, occurring with a delayed onset, than the usual, after exposure to an insecticide solution containing organophosphates. We stress that the patients who have recovered from initial acute cholinergic crisis, should be closely observed for the development of intermediate syndrome.
