Description
Amanuel Mesfin Oljira and nine colleagues report a 2026 case of stroke delayed ten days after pesticide poisoning in Ethiopia. A healthy 21-year-old woman swallowed five aluminum phosphide tablets on purpose. After stomach washing she stayed stable for a day and went home. Ten days later she developed sudden weakness of the right face and body, with slurred speech.
Brain scans showed a fresh stroke deep in the left middle cerebral artery territory. Heart tests, rhythm monitoring, vessel ultrasound, spinal fluid checks, and blood tests found no other cause. Some advanced scans were not available locally. She was treated with aspirin, later a statin, and structured rehab. Her disability score improved from 4 at one month to 2 at three and six months. The authors present the link as possible, not proven.
