Popis:	Herein, we present a case of 44-year-old male who landed in our emergency department with altered mental status with difficulty in breathing after 14 days of consumption of chlorpyrifos. Organophosphorus (OP) poisoning is one of the most common causes of poisoning encountered in rural India. There are reported cases of its acute and sub-acute atypical presentation but very few of delayed onset intermediate syndrome. By means of this case report, we want to emphasize on the delayed complications post OP poisoning and importance of treating physician’s awareness to recognize and treat such complications.
