Title: Cholinergic toxicity resulting from ocular instillation of echothiophate iodide eye drops Manoguerra A, Whitney C, Clark RF, Anderson B, Turchen S Ref: Journal of Toxicology Clinical Toxicology, 33:463, 1995 : PubMed
A patient developed a severe cholinergic syndrome from the use of echothiophate iodide ophthalmic drops, presented with profound muscle weakness and was initially given the diagnosis of myasthenia gravis. Red blood cell and serum cholinesterase levels were severely depressed and symptoms resolved spontaneously following discontinuation of the eye drops.
