초록

고산 지대에서 임의로 산나물을 채취하여 먹은 후 구역, 구토 등을 호소하며 저혈압 및 서맥을 보이는 경우 임상적으로 박새 중독을 의심하여야 하며, 진단 후에는 입원 상태에서 면밀한 생체 징후 감시와 적절한 보존적 치료를 시행한다면 빠른 시일 내에 회복될 수 있다. 저자들은 박새 잎을 섭취 후 집단으로 구토와 서맥, 저혈압 등의 중독 증상을 보인 23명의 환자들을 아트로핀 정맥 주사와 대증요법을 통해 치료한 예를 경험하였기에 보고하는 바이다.

Veratrum patulum is a perennial plant with toxicity, which grows wild in the high mountain areas of Korea. Various types of steroidal alkaloids contained in Veratrum patulum are known to cause symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, bradycardia and hypotension. Twenty-three patients were admitted to our center with chief complaints of nausea and vomiting after ingesting leaves of Veratrum patulum. The mean age of the group was 44 years old and was comprised of 19 males and 4 females. Some patients showed hypotension and bradycardia with symptoms such as dizziness. Ten patients with severe bradycardia coupled with other symptoms received atropine administration. Nausea and vomiting were improved after the administration of anti-emetics. Blood pressure and the pulse rate were all normalized on the day after admission, and all of the patients were discharged without any symptoms.
