Major cases of poisoning are associated with organophosphates. Cholinergic effects and an intermediate phase seen with organophosphate poisoning may implicate myopathy. Creatine kinase is a marker of muscle tissue damage. This study aimed to find out the mean serum creatine kinase among organophosphate poisoning cases in a tertiary care centre.
