Özet

Datura Stramonium yaygın bir alanda yetişen yabani ve otsu bir bitkidir. İçeriğinde atropin, hiyosiyamin ve skopolamin vardır. Antikolinerjik sendromla zehirlenmeye yol açar. Tedavi amacıyla bilinçsiz tüketimi, halüsinojenik etkisinden dolayı kötüye kullanımı ve kazara tüketiminden dolayı zehirlenmeler meydana gelebilir. Bu yazının amacı farklı semptomlar ile acile başvuran, antikolinerjik zehirlenme semptomları olan yedi kardeşte DS zehirlenmesi olgularının ve antikolinerjik zehirlenmeye yönelik tedavi yaklaşımının sunulmasıdır.
