Objective: To report on three patients with paraquat (PQ) intoxication surviving after combined therapy with hemoperfusion (HP), cyclophosphamide (CTX), and glucocorticoid. Methods: Three patients suffered acute renal failure in a few days after ingesting a lethal amount of PQ. Chest computed tomography (CT) scans revealed obvious pulmonary inflammation, pleural effusion, and fibrous lesions several days after ingestion. HP was performed immediately, followed by large doses of glucocorticoid (methylprednisolone, 500 g/d) and CTX (approximately 4 g). Results: After 50 d of treatments, all three patients were discharged in healthy condition, with chest CT showing small fibrous lesions, exuda- tion, and both lungs clear of auscultation. Conclusions: The protective effect of the lungs may have been due to timely treatment at adequate doses.
