A case study published in Clinical Toxicology describes the successful delivery of a healthy infant following acute maternal diquat poisoning. The pregnant woman ingested diquat and was admitted to the hospital, where her vital signs were stable and ultrasound examinations indicated normal fetal development. To minimize fetal exposure, an emergency cesarean section was performed, and the infant was delivered without complications. Both the mother and neonate underwent further tests and imaging, which did not reveal any abnormalities. The study suggests that diquat exposure at this dosage may not affect childbirth outcomes, but further monitoring is needed to assess long-term growth and development. [Extracted from the article]
