Abstract:
Paraquat(PQ) poisoning can lead to high fatalities due to the lack of a specific antidote. Besides routine treatment,excretion of PQ through blood purification at early stages and use of glucocorti-coid,immunosuppressant and antioxidant to prevent the important organs injury show effectiveness in the treatment of non-explosive PQ poisoning,which are the focus of current research.However,there is no ground breaking progress.Lung transplantation is becoming a potential therapy for the patients with severe pulmonary fibrosis.
