dc.description.abstractThe study was conducted in 30 non-survivors of Aluminium Phosphide poisoning and similar number of age and sex matched controls (fatalities as a result of road side accidents, head injury, etc). Magnesium content was estimated in brain, heart, stomach, kidney, liver and lung using atomic absorption spectrophotometer. It was found that tissue magnesium levels were not significantly different (p = NS) when comparison was carried out between controls (Group II) and Patients who were not given magnesium as part of treatment (group IB). However magnesium levels in different organs of patients who received magnesium as part of treatment were found to be significantly higher (group IA)(P < 0.01) in comparison to controls as well as patient group not treated with magnesium sulphate. Significant histopathological changes were observed in almost all the organs. The changes seem to be the result of direct tissue damage by phosphine rather than shock and anoxia which occurred in all these cases.en_US
