Prallethrin, a type 1 pyrethroid compound is commonly available as 'All-OUT’, a liquid mosquito repellent vaporiser. Acute prallethrin poisoning is rare, mostly occurring through dermal and oral routes.[1] Only one case has been reported wherein self-injection of prallethrin was observed.[2] Neurological, as well as gastrointestinal manifestations, have been described in literature till date.[3] Herein, we report a rare case of an 18-year-old female who after the self-injection of prallethrin developed bilateral pleural effusion and acute lung injury. She was managed with symptomatic treatment and discharged with successful outcomes within two weeks of presentation.
