We report the case of potential (Silverweed) intoxication in the context of SARS-COV-2 infection in a patient admitted for delirium with Glasgow Coma Score (GCS) of 13/15. This herb was used as an antipyretic to treat COVID-19 persistent fever. The clinical presentation of our patient raised several questions related to the viral or herbal intoxication origin of the confusion syndrome. To our knowledge, this is the first description of toxic encephalopathy after ingestionin an adult patient.
我们报告了一例在感染严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2(SARS-CoV-2)的患者中出现委陵菜中毒的病例,该患者因谵妄入院,格拉斯哥昏迷量表(GCS)评分为13/15。这种草药被用作退烧药来治疗新型冠状病毒肺炎(COVID-19)的持续发热。我们患者的临床表现引发了几个与混乱综合征的病毒或草药中毒起源相关的问题。据我们所知,这是成年患者摄入委陵菜后中毒性脑病的首次描述。
