Abstract
Poisoning is a very common way to commit suicide. It is more common in low- and middle-income countries. Aluminium phosphide is a very commonly available pesticide in such countries including India. Aluminium phosphide is a very toxic compound. Ingestion of aluminium phosphide can cause severe toxicity to various cells, and mortality is very high. We are presenting a case of rare survival of acute aluminium phosphide poisoning, who presented with signs and symptoms of severe toxicity including metabolic acidosis and shock. During hospitalisation, he developed ventricular tachycardia, acute kidney, and liver failure.
