A 49-year-old woman with a history of HIV and hypothyroidism developed symptomatic hypotension, bradycardia, and gastrointestinal distress after consuming honey she had purchased during a recent trip to Nepal. Her travel history and symptoms raised concerns about mad honey intoxication. Her condition improved with supportive care, including IV fluids, and atropine was not required for bradycardia. This case underscores the importance of considering mad honey toxicity in patients with unexplained cardiovascular symptoms and a history of honey ingestion. As interest in natural and traditional medicines grows, raising awareness about their potential risks becomes increasingly essential.
一名49岁有HIV病史和甲状腺功能减退症的女性,在食用了她最近去尼泊尔旅行时购买的蜂蜜后,出现了症状性低血压、心动过缓和胃肠道不适。她的旅行史和症状引发了对疯蜜中毒的担忧。通过包括静脉输液在内的支持性护理,她的病情有所改善,心动过缓也无需使用阿托品治疗。该病例强调了对于有不明原因心血管症状且有食用蜂蜜史的患者,考虑疯蜜毒性的重要性。随着对天然和传统药物的兴趣增加,提高对其潜在风险的认识变得越来越重要。
