Abstract
A case of combined paraquat and acetaminophen ingestion is reported with accompanying serial serum levels (including pre and postcharcoal hemoperfusion) and autopsy tissue levels of both toxins. An increased lethality (time until death) is suggested in rats receiving both toxins as compared to either toxin alone. A proposed mechanism for the combined toxicity of the two drugs is hypothesized.
