Abstract:
A 2-year and 4-month-old girl had vomiting, frequent convulsions, fever, insomnia, irritability, abnormal behavior, limb swing, tachycardia, shortness of breath, etc. after mistaken use of her mother′s weight loss healthcare products for about half an hour. Blood routine and blood biochemical examination showed no obvious abnormalities. Gastric lavage, intracranial pressure reduction, and symptomatic treatments were given, and 11 days later, her symptoms basically disappeared. The identification results of the weight loss healthcare products showed that the main component was sibutramine. Then serotonin syndrome caused by sibutramine poisoning was diagnosed.
