Ricin is a member of a group of protein toxins whose cytosolic target is the 28S rRNA of the 60S ribosomal subunit. It was recently introduced as a weapon of terrorism in some countries. There is little evidence about the mechanism, diagnosis and treatment of ricin poisoning. The case history is reported of a patient with ricin poisoning who presented with nausea and vomiting following ingestion of Korean castor bean.
蓖麻毒素是一组蛋白质毒素中的一员，其胞质靶标是60S核糖体亚基的28S核糖体RNA。最近在一些国家，它被用作恐怖主义武器。关于蓖麻毒素中毒的机制、诊断和治疗的证据很少。本文报告了一例蓖麻毒素中毒患者的病例，该患者因食用朝鲜蓖麻子后出现恶心和呕吐。
