Twenty-two patients were reported to complain of tremor, headaches, tachycardia and dizziness 1-3 h after eating veal liver. As clinical symptoms were not suggestive of an infectious cause, the presence of veterinary drug residues was suspected. Clenbuterol, a beta 2-agonist, was being illegally used in cattle because of its anabolizing properties and may explain the observed effects. Assays of clenbuterol in samples of veal liver showed concentrations of 0.375 and 0.500 micrograms/g. To our knowledge, this is one of the first reports of clinical symptoms in humans associated with the consumption of veterinary drug residue-containing food.
据报道，22名患者在食用小牛肉肝1至3小时后出现震颤、头痛、心动过速和头晕症状。由于临床症状不提示感染性病因，怀疑存在兽药残留。克伦特罗是一种β2激动剂，因其同化特性曾被非法用于牛，这可能解释了所观察到的效应。小牛肉肝样本中克伦特罗的检测显示浓度为0.375和0.500微克/克。据我们所知，这是与食用含兽药残留食品相关的人类临床症状的首批报告之一。
