Summary	We examined the effects of pralidoxime (PAM) salts, a medicine used to treat organophosphorus poisoning, on clinical laboratory test results for the first time. The addition of PAM iodide or potassium iodide, but not of PAM chloride or potassium chloride, to blood samples increased the GLU values measured by one POCT meter and four SMBG meters using the enzyme electrode method. PAM iodide or PAM chloride affected the values measured at 340 nm by an autoanalyzer in clinical laboratory tests.
