| Zusammenfassung: | Reports of poisoning by Scopolia carniolica are rare. The plant was named by Carl von Linne in honor of its discoverer, natural historian J. A. Scopoli (1723-1788) and the former province of Carniola, and is indigenous to some regions of Slovenia. Like several genera of the Solanaceae (Nightshade) family it contains tropane alkaloids which cause distinctive anticholinergic clinical syndrome in case of poisoning. We report a case of two female patients who consumed a meal containing what they thought were spinach leafs. |
