Diagnosis of cholinesterase inhibitor insecticide ingestion is based on clinical suspicious and should be confirmed by cholinesterase essay. However, serum cholinesterase activity test requires specific instruments and procedure. This study aimed to develop simple colorimetric test to detect cholinesterase inhibitors in the gastric content, using phytoesterase and alpha naphthyl acetate as a chromogenic substrate.
