Datura poisoning: a neurotoxic emergency

By Abdallah Hamedi and Siham Bahbouh

Datura intoxication is a perfect illustration of the contemporary challenges faced by toxicology and clinical neurology, on the borderline between medical emergency, acute neurological disorder and public health issue. The neurological manifestations of datura poisoning can mimic numerous pathologies, making diagnosis a complex task, particularly in emergency situations. This book makes a valuable contribution by offering a clear, rigorous and didactic approach to datura intoxication, focusing on its neurological complications. It is based on an in-depth analysis of pathophysiological mechanisms, a detailed description of clinical signs and an illustration of a relevant clinical case, linking theory and medical practice. The book is thus a useful tool for everyday medical practice and for raising awareness, helping to improve patient care and prevent neurological complications that can have serious consequences.
