A Case Report of Puffer Fish Poisoning in Singapore
Although many Asians regard puffer fish as a delicacy since ancient times, puffer fish (Lageocephalus scitalleratus) is also a well-known source of possibly lethal food poisoning. The fish is gaining popularity in Singapore and can be found in quite a few restaurants now. Puffer fish contains tetrodotoxin (TTX), a potent poison affecting the neural pathway. Puffer fish poisoning may cause a con...

متن کاملA tetrodotoxin-producing Vibrio strain, LM-1, from the puffer fish Fugu vermicularis radiatus.
Identification of tetrodotoxin (TTX) and its derivatives produced from a Vibrio strain in the intestine of the puffer fish Fugu vermicularis radiatus was performed by thin-layer chromatography, electrophoresis, high-performance liquid chromatography, and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, together with a mouse bioassay for toxicity. It was demonstrated that the isolated bacterium produced TT...
متن کاملBioinformatic identification of polymerizing and transmembrane mucins in the puffer fish Fugu rubripes.
Mucins are large glycoproteins characterized by mucin domains that show little sequence conservation and are rich in the amino acids Ser, Thr, and Pro. To effectively predict mucins from genomic and protein sequences obtained from genome projects, we developed a strategy based on the amino acid compositional bias characteristic of the mucin domains. This strategy is combined with an analysis of...
متن کاملPuffer fish poisoning: four case reports.
Four cases of puffer fish poisoning with one death in a family are described. Acute respiratory cessation probably resulted from both depression of the medullary centres and muscular paralysis by the neurotoxin. Artificial ventilation is the single most effective therapeutic measure and should be considered in all severe cases. Delay in treatment may result in death. Anticholinesterases are not...
