We describe three cases of tutu berry (Coriaria arborea) ingestion resulting in tonic-clonic seizures in two individuals and mild symptoms in the third. Tutu poisoning in humans appears to be a rare occurrence; the last reported case in the medical literature being over 40 years ago. We review the literature on tutu poisoning and recommend extending the period of observation for poisoned individuals from 8 hours to 12 hours or longer. We also recommend that prophylactic benzodiazepine use should be considered in those with mild to moderate symptoms of poisoning.
我们描述了三例食用新西兰紫穗槐（Coriaria arborea）的病例，其中两例导致强直阵挛性癫痫发作，第三例症状较轻。人类食用新西兰紫穗槐中毒似乎很少见；医学文献中最后一次报告的病例发生在40多年前。我们回顾了有关新西兰紫穗槐中毒的文献，并建议将中毒者的观察期从8小时延长至12小时或更长时间。我们还建议，对于有轻至中度中毒症状的患者，应考虑预防性使用苯二氮䓬类药物。
