Severe coagulopathy due to anticoagulant rodenticide poisoning

Coagulopatía severa secundaria a intoxicación por rodenticida anticoagulante

Introducction: superwarfarins are potent anticoagulant rodenticides that cause severe long-acting coagulopathy by inhibition of vitamin K-dependent coagulation factors. Poisoning is a growing public health issue due to the widespread use of these compounds. Clinical presentation can range from asymptomatic to severe and life-threatening hemorrhage. Clinicians should be highly aware of superwarfarin poisoning in all patients with unexplained coagulopathy resistant to vitamin K therapy. Case: we present a case of severe coagulopathy due to superwarfarin poisoning in a male patient who attempted suicide with difethialone.
