| Abstract | Background: Intoxication with Atropa belladonna is endemic in Eastern Anatolia especially in springtime. However, in literature, there are no much studies about Atropa belladonna intoxication in childhood. Objectives: This study examines clinical and laboratory findings of pediatric Atropa belladonna intoxication cases. Methods: Hospital official database was searched for international classification of diseases code of intoxication. The inclusion criteria included individuals under the age of 15 and who had a history of Atropa belladonna ingestion. Results: The most frequent clinical findings were mydriasis, flushing, and meaningless speech. There was a significant rise in the white blood cell count, glucose, aspartate aminotransferase, and C - reactive protein levels. Conclusions: Atropa belladonna intoxication clinically causes anticholinergic syndrome and can result in deteriorations in some laboratory tests. | en |
