Atropa Belladonna Intoxication

Öz

Introduction: Atropa belladonna is an available plant in a wide geographical area that has an appearance that can be confused with many fruits and potential lethal effects. We aimed to draw attention to Atropa belladonna poisoning in the light of the data of 9 cases who appealed to the emergency department of our hospital within 7 days. Case Reports: We evaluated 9 patients who appealed to the emergency service of our hospital within the seven day. Most of these patients had ingested by confusion with other fruits. One patient had ingested deliberately. Two patients had experienced traffic accidents due to anticholinergic effects during attempt to appeal to the hospital. The most commonly reported symptoms were xerostomia and incoherent speech followed by other symptoms such as paresthesia in lips, nausea, loss of strength in bilateral lower extremities, agitation and temporary loss of consciousness. Eight of the cases were admitted in the intensive care unit one case was discharged as outpatient. Conclusion: The awareness of the public should be raised about this easily accessible plant and its fruit in the nature. The healthcare providers should comprehensively investigate the history of the patients applying with similar clinic particularly in the summer season.
