Two cases of cardiac glycoside poisoning from accidental foxglove ingestion.
A 67-year-old Chinese woman presented to the emergency department with a three-day history of nausea and vomiting, palpitations and chest discomfort. Her symptoms had started suddenly a few hours after eating lunch, beginning with generalized weakness and fatigue; she had noticed that her pulse was slow and irregular. A few hours later, chest pressure developed along with abdominal cramping ass...
متن کاملDetection of poisoning by plant-origin cardiac glycoside with the Abbott TDx analyzer.
Cardiac glycoside poisoning caused by ingestion of plant material is common in tropical and sub-tropical areas. In evaluating the use of the Abbott TDx Digoxin II assay to detect such cases of poisoning, we found it a rapid and convenient method for confirming the ingestion of glycosides from the plants Nerium oleander, Thevetia peruviana, and Adonis microcarpa, and from the toad Bufo marinus. ...
متن کاملCardiac glycoside poisoning in sheep caused by Urginea physodes (Jacq.) Bak. and the isolated physodine A.
Urginea physodes (Jacq.) Bak., a species closely related to or possibly synonymous with U. pusilla, is described and its distribution given. Four bufadienolides were isolated from U. physodes and the approximated LD50 and cumulative effect of some of them determined in guinea pigs. The most toxic one proved to be mildly cumulative. Typical signs of acute cardiac glycoside poisoning, involving t...
متن کاملAcute yellow oleander (Thevetia peruviana) poisoning: cardiac arrhythmias, electrolyte disturbances, and serum cardiac glycoside concentrations on presentation to hospital.
OBJECTIVE To describe the cardiac arrhythmias, electrolyte disturbances, and serum cardiac glycoside levels seen in patients presenting to hospital with acute yellow oleander (Thevetia peruviana) poisoning and to compare these with published reports of digitalis poisoning. DESIGN Case series. SETTING Medical wards of Anuradhapura District General Hospital, Sri Lanka, and coronary care unit ...
متن کاملSerum Cardiac Glycoside Assay Based
An assay of serum digoxin and other cardiac glycosides by displacement of 3Houabain from Na-K ATPase is described. It is rapidly set up by any laboratory with a liquid scintillation counter. It can also assay digitalis leaf, digitoxin, and gitalin (Gitaligin), and has uncovered unsuspected administration of them. The assay takes less than 1 hour. No quench correction of counts is required. One ...
