• Metalaxyl exposure to laboratory animals produced haematological and biochemical abrrations possibly due to an induced oxidative stress (Al-Amoudi WM, 2012)
Clinical Manifestation
• Decrease in RBC counts, haemoglobin content and blood platelet counts (Al-Amoudi WM, 2012)
Increase in WBC counts(Al-Amoudi WM . . .
