Pyrethroid is an insecticide which is widely used for household pests. Even though they are relatively less toxic to humans, reports of accidental poisoning are not uncommon. Cases of anosmia, tremors and arrhythmias after pyrethroid exposure have been reported; however auditory hallucinations have not been presented yet. Herein, we present a case of auditory hallucination in the form of ringing in the ear after exposure to airborne pyrethrin in a 69-year-old male. The significance of this case report is related to the wide use of insecticides containing pyrethrin and highlights the need for physician awareness of this uncommon pathology.
拟除虫菊酯是一种广泛用于防治家庭害虫的杀虫剂。尽管它们对人类的毒性相对较小，但意外中毒的报告并不罕见。已有拟除虫菊酯暴露后出现嗅觉丧失、震颤和心律失常的病例报告；然而，尚未有听觉幻觉的相关报道。在此，我们报告一例69岁男性在接触空气中的除虫菊酯后出现耳鸣形式的听觉幻觉的病例。本病例报告的意义在于除虫菊酯类杀虫剂的广泛使用，并强调了医生了解这种罕见病理情况的必要性。
