This report describes a case of acute renal failure and delayed paralysis caused by the ingestion of a large dose of Maneb for a suicide attempt. The patient was admitted to the emergency room after consuming almost a whole bottle of Maneb. Despite treatment, the patient experienced muscle weakness and dyspnea, requiring intubation. After several weeks of intensive care and nephrology treatment, the patient was discharged with persistent bilateral drop foot.
Maneb is a widely used agricultural fungicide, which can lead to parkinsonism due to its neurotoxic effects on the dopaminergic system after chronic low-dose exposure. Previous acute human maneb poisoning cases occurred with low-dose maneb exposure through the dermal route causing renal failure. This report presents a case of acute renal failure and delayed paralysis due to ingestion of a large dose of maneb for a suicide attempt. A 16-year-old female patient was admitted to the emergency room because of drinking almost a whole bottle of maneb (400 mL [2 g L-1]) about 2 hours before. The patient was transferred to the intensive care unit with severe metabolic acidosis and renal failure. On the 4th day in intensive care unit, although the severe acidosis was resolved with haemodialysis, the patient was intubated because of ascending muscle weakness and dyspnoea. After staying in the intensive care unit for 9 days and in the nephrology ward for 2 weeks, the patient was discharged well from the hospital with no further need for haemodialysis but a persistent bilateral drop foot. One year after the event, renal functions were normal, and motor function in the lower extremities improved entirely.
