Abstract
- A new rodenticide, RH-787, made in Rhom and Hass co. was introduced in this country because it was known relatively harmless to human and beasts. But many internists found that RH-787 induces diabetes in human after accidental ingestions. The effects of RH-787 on various organ are still controversial but the associaton of RH-787 with diabetes is now recognized through the clinical and experimental studies. The cataract is not infrequently seen in juvenile diabetics of several years' duration. In the case to be reported, the cataract was appeared more rapidly within about 2 years after known diabetes due to RH-787 intoxication than usual diabetic cataracts, and the visual results were good after bilateral extracapsular lens extractions with peripheral iridectomy, without any complication.
