The recreational use of the so-called "legal-highs" has been in both the medical and political arena over the last year as a result of the appearance of "head shops" in many towns in Ireland. These shops specialized in selling new psychotropic compounds that circumvented established drug legislation. Little is known about the potentially harmful effects of these substances but case reports suggest a plethora of harmful psychological and physical effects. Our case describes for the first time acute liver failure associated with the ingestion of two of these amphetamine type compounds.
过去一年,由于爱尔兰许多城镇出现了“摇头丸专卖店”,所谓“合法兴奋剂”的消遣性使用在医学和政治领域都引起了关注。这些商店专门销售规避既定毒品立法的新型精神药物化合物。这些物质可能造成的有害影响知之甚少,但病例报告表明存在大量有害的心理和生理影响。我们的病例首次描述了摄入其中两种安非他命类化合物导致的急性肝衰竭。
