Summary:76 cases of counterattack induced by acute organic phosphorus pesticides intoxication were analysed. The activity of cholinesterase did not show a significant difference before the counterattack as compared to that after the counterattack (P > 0.05). The average dosage of atropine for pre-atropinization was 58.6 +/- 2.7 mg/h and it was 203.9 +/- 17.7 mg/h between the post-counterattack and the second atropinization (P < 0.01). Compared the mortality in reaching and non-reaching the second atropinization was 22.8% VS 100% (P < 0.01). The survival rate was 37.5% in collaborating blood transfusion cases and 20.6% in noncollaborating ones (P > 0.05). We also studied on the treatment, mechanism, precursory symptoms, causes of death, degrees of intoxication and pesticide types etc.
