Atropa belladonna poisoning should be considered in patients presenting with anticholinergic toxidrome.
May prompt consideration of belladonna poisoning in anticholinergic cases; leaves open need for larger studies.
Atropa belladonna causes poisoning by its anticholinergic effects. Excessive ingestion of this plant may cause peripheral anticholinergic effects, and moreover, a more severe clinical picture can be seen due to its central effects which can result in lethargy, coma or even death. In this article, we aimed to present a case with Atropa belladonna intoxication and to emphasize that Atropa belladonna poisoning should be kept in mind in cases with anticholinergic findings.
