A 33-year-old patient with hypokalaemia associated with severe myopathy following liquorice ingestion is described. Potassium depletion was confirmed by total body potassium measurements and myopathy was established by electromyography and enzyme studies. The potential hazard of chronic liquorice consumption even as a sweet is illustrated by this case.
本文描述了一名33岁的患者，在摄入甘草后出现低钾血症并伴有严重肌病。通过全身钾测量证实了钾缺乏，通过肌电图和酶学研究确诊了肌病。该病例说明了长期食用甘草（即使作为甜味剂）的潜在危害。
