Paraquat lung

There is no specific treatment for Paraquat poisoning. The goal is to relieve symptoms and address any complications that arise.

The outcome depends on the severity of exposure. The affected person may develop mild breathing-related symptoms with full recovery, or they may have permanent changes in the lungs, or if the person received a large dose at once (as with ingestion), death may occur.

• ARDS
• Pulmonary fibrosis
• Esophageal perforation
• Mediastinitis

If you believe you have been exposed to Paraquat, you should seek medical care immediately.
