Kayısı Çekirdeği Yenildikten Sonra Ortaya Çıkan Akut Siyanür Zehirlenmesi

Abstract

Daha önce sağlıklı olduğu öğrenilen 2.5 yaşındaki kız olgu acil servisimize ani bilinç kaybı ve konvülziyon geçirme nedeniyle getirildi. Olgunun çok sayıda kayısı çekirdeği yemesi sonrası mevcut klinik tablonun geliştiği öğrenildi. Olgu acil servise getirildiğinde belirgin hipotermik olup koma bulguları vardı. Çok sayıda kayısı çekirdeği yenmesi nedeniyle akut siyanür zehirlenmesi geliştiği düşünüldü. Ülkemizde bulunmadığı için uygun antidot tedavisi uygulanamadı. Ağır metabolik asidozun düzeltilmesi için sodyum bikarbonat infüzyonu uygulandı. Uygulanan destekleyici tedaviye kısa sürede yanıt veren olgunun, klinik tablosunun 8 saat içinde düzeldiği görüldü. Ülkemizden kayısı çekirdeği yenmesi sonrası siyanür zehirlenmesi gözlendiği bildirilen ikinci olgu olması nedeniyle sunumu yapıldı.
