Abstract

Six cases of herbal poisoning involving six patients in Hong Kong, Taipei and Kuala Lumpur are reported. The sources of poisoning were identified as adulterants (Podophyllum emodi) or erroneous substitutes (Datura metel). In cases of suspected herbal poisoning, it is recommended that the prescriptions, herbal residues and herb samples should be collected for pharmacognostical and chemical analysis to substantiate the cause of poisoning. Insofar as it is possible, an estimate of the amount of herbs consumed should also be obtained, to establish whether the amount of toxin present is sufficient to account for the symptoms.

因掺假或错误替代品引起的草药中毒。
香港、台北及吉隆坡共发生六宗中草药中毒个案,涉及六名病人。中毒的来源被确定为掺假(鬼臼)或错误的替代品(曼陀罗金属)。在怀疑中草药中毒的情况下,建议收集处方、药渣和中草药样品进行生药学和化学分析,以证实中毒原因。在可能的情况下,还应估计草药的摄入量,以确定毒素的含量是否足以解释这些症状。
