Mumps caused by paraquat-induced poisoning: A case report

Xiaoyan Xu et al. Exp Ther Med. 2017 Feb.

Abstract

Paraquat (PQ) is a highly toxic herbicide that harms the liver, kidney, lungs and heart, and results in a variety of complications. The majority of patients with severe PQ poisoning may succumb to multiple organ failure, and the mortality rate is high. Although a large number of studies have been performed investigating PQ poisoning, cases of mumps caused by PQ-induced poisoning are rare. In the present case report, a 45-year-old female who ingested PQ was admitted to the Emergency Department of Liaocheng People's Hospital (Liaocheng, China). During the development of the disease, mumps was caused by a cavity ulcer following PQ poisoning. To the best of our knowledge, cases of mumps following PQ poisoning are rare.

Keywords: mumps; paraquat; poisoning.

On August 24th, 2014 (the second day of developing mumps), the right parotid gland swelling was reduced, and tenderness was not evident. However, the lip and oral cheek mucous membrane ulcers still remained.
