Aluminium phosphide is a solid fumigant pesticide and has systemic toxicity due to liberation of phosphine gas. We report a case of aluminium phosphide poisoning with systemic toxicity in a 16-year-old patient who developed previously undocumented complication of subendocardial infarction, with characteristic electrocardiographic changes reverting back to normal after a period of 10 weeks, even though the patient had clinical recovery much earlier. Human & Experimental Toxicology (2007) 26, 457—460

Key Words: aluminium phosphide • poisoning • subendocardial infarction
