A case of intoxication with paraquat is reported. On admission 3 days after intoxication the patient had high paraquat levels. The treatment consisted of hypoxic ventilation with 14% O2 and 86% N2, hemodialysis and forced diuresis. The patient never exhibited either clinical or radiological signs of pulmonary complications. The toxicology of paraquat and the use of hypoxic ventilation are discussed.
