  • Title: Anticholinergic toxicity associated with lupin seed ingestion: case report.
    Author: Di Grande A, Paradiso R, Amico S, Fulco G, Fantauzza B, Noto P.
    Journal: Eur J Emerg Med; 2004 Apr; 11(2):119-20. PubMed ID: 15028905.
    Abstract:
    We describe a case of acute poisoning in a 51-year-old female patient who presented to the Emergency Department with weakness, anxiety, dry mouth, bilateral mydriasis and lid drop. In differential diagnosis, botulism, Guillain-Barré syndrome and myasthenia gravis were considered, as well as cerebral haematoma because of a cranial injury a week before. Symptoms, which resolved within 12 h without any therapy, were instead related to the ingestion of lupin seeds.
