ABSTRACT
Compared with organophosphate or carbamate insecticides, neonicotinoids have several pharmacological benefits such as a broad spectrum of insecticidal activity, low application rate, and highly selective toxicity to insects. Imidacloprid was the first neonicotonid introduced in the market, in 1991. It has become one of the best selling insecticides globally. Several cases of imidacloprid intoxication have been reported worldwide, but few have been reported in Korea. Recently, we experienced a severe imidacloprid intoxication with delayed respiratory insufficiency and several toxicities. We report the case with the literature review.
