Abstract

Introduction: Atropa belladonna (deadly nightshade) is a poisonous herb that can be especially seen in Northern regions of our country and cause anticholinergic toxic syndrome (ATS) when consumed. ATS can be seen when consuming the plant which contains atropine or in overdose of psychoactive drugs containing atropine (such as antipsychotics, tricyclic antidepressants).
Case 1: A 65-year-old female patient was admitted to emergency service with the clinic of agitation, speech disorder and consciousness change. It was learned that she consumed atropa belladonna fruits about an hour ago. She was followed up with the diagnosis of ATS and treated with conservative approach.
Case 2: A 58-year-old male patient was admitted to the emergency servise due to impaired consciousness, agitation, difficulty in speaking, vomiting and fever. He also ate the same fruits with his relative, case 1. He also followed up with a diagnosis of ATS and treated with both conservative approach and physostigmine.
Conclusion: Consuming atropa belladonna fruits and leaves can lead to ATS and life-threatening consequences can be seen in severe toxicity. Early diagnosis and treatment are important in prognosis. Physostigmine must be kept in mind in cases who does not benefit from conservative approach.

ATROPA BELLADONNA (ÖLÜMCÜL İTÜZÜMÜ) ZEHİRLENMESİ OLAN OLGU SERİSİ VE FİZOSTİGMİN DENEYİMİ

Abstract

Giriş: Atropa belladonna (ölümcül itüzümü), ülkemizin özellikle kuzey bölgelerinde görülebilen ve tüketildiğinde antikolinerjik toksik sendroma (ATS) neden olabilen zehirli bir bitkidir. ATS; atropin içeren bitkilerin veya atropin içeren psikoaktif ilaçların (antipsikotikler, trisiklik antidepresanlar gibi) aşırı dozda alınmasında görülebilir.
Olgu 1: 65 yaşında kadın hasta ajitasyon, konuşma bozukluğu ve bilinç değişikliği kliniği ile acil servise başvurdu. Yaklaşık bir saat önce atropa belladonna meyvelerinden tükettiği öğrenildi. ATS tanısı ile takibe alındı ve konservatif yaklaşımla tedavi edildi.
Olgu 2: 58 yaşında erkek hasta bilinç bozukluğu, ajitasyon, konuşma güçlüğü, kusma ve ateş şikayetleri ile acil servise başvurdu. Akrabası olan olgu 1 ile aynı meyveleri yediği öğrenildi. ATS tanısı ile takibe alınan hasta konservatif yaklaşımlar ve fizostigmin ile tedavi edildi.
Sonuç: Atropa belladonna meyve ve yapraklarının tüketilmesi ATS' ye yol açabilmekte ve şiddetli toksisitede hayatı tehdit eden sonuçlar görülebilmektedir. Prognozda erken tanı ve tedavi önemlidir. Konservatif yaklaşımdan fayda görmeyen olgularda fizostigmin tedavisi akılda tutulmalıdır.
