Poisoning with plants and mushrooms in Sri Lanka: a retrospective hospital based study.

R Fernando1, D N Fernando.   

Abstract

A retrospective hospital-based study in Sri Lanka showed that out of 4556 cases of poisoning, 2.5% were caused by plants and mushrooms. Gloriosa superba (44%), and Ricinus communis (24%) were the commonest plants responsible for poisoning; 39% of the victims were less than 15 y old. Gastric lavage and iv fluids were the most common therapeutic measures used. There were 8 deaths, all due to G superba. There is a need for public education to prevent poisoning, which is a major health concern.
