Four patients who developed acute intravascular haemolysis after ingestion of a broth containing Acalypha indica (Sinhala: Kuppameniya) are reported. All four patients were found to have glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency. It is a common belief that ayurvedic medicines are free of side effects. Our report confirms again the fallacy of this belief.
报告了4例在摄入含有铁苋菜（僧伽罗语：Kuppameniya）的肉汤后发生急性血管内溶血的患者。发现所有4例患者均患有葡萄糖-6-磷酸脱氢酶缺乏症。人们普遍认为阿育吠陀药物没有副作用。我们的报告再次证实了这种观点的错误。
