Glyphosate containing herbicides, such as 'Touchdown' or 'Roundup', have been known relatively safe. They have been introduced as substitute for highly toxic paraquat. Till now few researchers have paid their attention for this material, and few data are available concerning this. Recently we experienced seven cases of glyphosate intoxication during past three years. Most of the cases could be regarded as intentional ingestion and accidental intoxication seemed to be quite less compared to paraquat. As there exist technical difficulties for the clarification of the material quantitatively, some cases were disputable concerning the circumstances in which ingestion of the material or death have occurred. Cases were reviewed and several points about this material were discussed.

Parquat, more commonly used in its commercial name, Gramoxone, is a widely used herbicide for it is inexpensive and effective. It is lethal when ingested accidentally or for the purpose of committing suicide. Having experienced four patients who were injured accidentally in the eye by Gramoxone (herbicide containing paraquat and diquat), we report these cases with the review of the literatures.

Introduction:
Acute paraquat (PQ) poisoning is associated with high case fatality rate. Following a report of 108 cases of poisoning from 2011 to 2013, the distribution, sale, and use of PQ was recently prohibited in the Philippines. However, there still is a need to gather additional information on the manifestations of PQ poisoning in the Philippines. Hence, this study aimed to identify the clinical presentation and outcomes of cases of PQ poisoning seen in a hospital at northern Philippines.
Case presentation:
Nine cases of oral PQ poisoning from 2011 to 2013 were included in this series. All cases were intentional. Majority (88%) of the patients were females. Seven of the nine (77%) cases were from Baggao, Cagayan, a nearby agricultural town. Mean age was 30 (range 21-47). Initial presenting symptoms were vomiting, difficulty in swallowing, abdominal pain and gastrointestinal bleeding. Of the nine cases, four died (44%) in the hospital. Three (33%) survived without complications. Long-term outcomes of the remaining two cases (22%) were unknown. All patients who eventually died developed dyspnea during their hospital stay, and subsequently went into acute respiratory failure. Azotemia and leukocytosis were also recorded among those who died.
Discussion:
High mortality rate among PQ poisoning patients can be attributed to the absence of antidote and the unsatisfactory outcomes of post-exposure management.
Conclusion
Mortality rate for this series was 44%, and all died of progressive respiratory failure. Gastrointestinal toxicity was universal in the nine reported cases. Azotemia and leukocytosis were the other significant findings observed among the cases of fatal poisoning
