The Digestive Tract Injuries Caused by Acute Pesticide Poisoning From 2014 to 2024: A Mini Literature Review.

ABSTRACT: Acute pesticide poisoning is a significant public health issue, particularly in low- and middle-income countries where pesticides are commonly used in agriculture. While the neurological and cardiovascular effects of pesticide poisoning have been extensively studied, gastrointestinal injuries remain underexplored despite their severe complications, including bleeding, perforation, and obstruction. This mini-review examines the prevalence, mechanisms, and treatment of gastrointestinal injuries caused by acute pesticide poisoning from 2014 to 2024. Based on an analysis of 11 studies encompassing 38 cases across China, India, and Japan, we identified organophosphate compounds as the most common culprits of gastrointestinal damage. Mechanisms of injury involve multifactorial mechanisms, includ
