Popis: Hexaconazol (a systemic fungicide) due to its low toxicity, is very rarely reported in literature of pesticide poisoning. With development of agricultural industries and change in the pattern of cultivation, such poisoning may become more frequent in the future. There is no documented report of death due to acute Hexaconazole poisoning till date. Liver is the primary target of organ damage. Severe involvement of other organs is also evident in this report. This fatal poisoning by Hexaconazole, perhaps the only case so far, is being reported for its rarity.
