A Case of Belladonna Poisoning With Late‐Onset Reappearance of Anticholinergic Toxicity

Key Points

This case aims to highlight the recurrence of symptoms in belladonna poisoning due to reabsorption of alkaloids.
Detailed patient monitoring following belladonna poisoning.
Assessment of drug concentration and symptom evaluation.
Analysis of bowel motility and its effects on toxicity.
Symptom recurrence correlated with drug concentration increases.
Reabsorption of residual alkaloids was suggested due to impaired bowel function.
Improved management outcomes through careful monitoring of intestinal motility.

Abstract

ABSTRACT In a patient with belladonna poisoning, symptom recurrence was accompanied by a rebound in drug concentration. This suggests reabsorption of residual alkaloids during impaired intestinal peristalsis. The case emphasizes the importance of carefully monitoring bowel motility in the management of belladonna poisoning to prevent delayed or recurrent toxic manifestations.
