چکیده انگلیسی

BackgroundBaptisia is commonly found in residential gardens as an ornamental plant, in municipal “rain gardens” for water control, as well as in native and restored prairie habitat. Cytisine, an alkaloid with nicotinic acetylcholine receptor agonist properties, is a component of Baptisia.Case ReportTwo patients poisoned after simultaneously ingesting Baptisia plant material are presented. In addition to findings of generalized nicotinic agonist toxicity, including generalized weakness and gastrointestinal symptoms, profound ataxia was present in both, consistent with recently described nicotinic subunit activity in the cerebellum.Why Should an Emergency Physician Be Aware of This?Baptisia, a native prairie plant commonly found in restored prairie habitats and public spaces, has striking “look-alike” characteristics, in its immature state, to asparagus. As future exposures by foraging citizens will be likely, awareness of this relationship and the toxic manifestations of cytisine will be useful.
