Abstract

The case of a 16-year-old girl who ingested 30 g of camphor dissolved with 250 ml wine to induce abortion is reported. The girl started vomiting 45 min after ingestion, which may have saved her life. Camphor is present in a number of over-the-counter medications, mainly for external application, and is readily available in drugstores. The substance is highly toxic and rapid in onset. The reported human lethal dose is 50 to 500 mg kg-1. Camphor ingestion may lead to abortion because camphor crosses the placenta and fetuses lack the enzymes to hydroxylate and conjugate with glucuronic acid. The girl was charged with intended abortion.

摘要

报告了一名16岁女孩的病例，她摄入了30克溶于250毫升葡萄酒中的樟脑以诱导流产。女孩在摄入后45分钟开始呕吐，这可能救了她一命。樟脑存在于许多非处方药中，主要用于外用，在药店很容易买到。该物质毒性很强，起效迅速。报道的人类致死剂量为50至500毫克/千克。摄入樟脑可能导致流产，因为樟脑可穿过胎盘，而胎儿缺乏将其羟基化并与葡萄糖醛酸结合的酶。该女孩被控意图堕胎。
