Datura stramonium poisoning: a case report and review of the literature

Abstract

Datura stramonium is
a widespread annual, leafy herbaceous plant that is a powerful hallucinogen. It
can cause severe anticholinergic poisoning after inappropriate and
unconsciously usage. We would like to present an approach, accompanied by literature,
to the poisoning case for a 6-year-old child who initially presented with
altered mental status, abnormal/incoherent speech and agitation, and had an
only response to physostigmine. It is essential to consider anticholinergic
plant-based ingestions in the differential diagnosis of children presenting
with altered mental state, hallucination, and agitation. Health care workers
and parents should be aware of toxicities and potential risks of these plants.
