Abstract
Atropine is a drug of choice for muscarinic effects in organophosphate (OP)
poisoning. Allergic reaction to atropine is rare. Here, we report a case of a
17‐year‐old male who was admitted with clinical manifestations of acute OP
poisoning. After intravenous atropine injection, cutaneous signs of hypersensitivity
including erythema and urticarial were observed on his body. Atropine injection
was stopped, and antihistamines and hydrocortisone were administered. His
condition was improved, and he discharged with a good condition after 2 days
hospitalization. Adverse allergic reaction to atropine should be in mind when
managing OP poisoning cases.
