Abstract
- Glyphosate surfactant herbicide (N-Phosphonomethyl glycine) is a nonselective herbicide used and studied worldwide because it is less toxic than paraquat is. Alachlor, an acetanilide agrichemical, is a herbicide that is selectively absorbed in the young buds of gramineae weeds. The selective functional mechanism of alachlor is not clear, but it is known to disturb the physio-chemical response. Human abuse can lead to intoxication and injury of the intestinal mucosa, abdominal pain, vomiting, diarrhea, hypotension, dyspnea, metabolic acidosis, respiratory distress, and death. The authors diagnosed a rare case of erythema multiforme without systemic symptoms.
