A case of acute hepatitis following mad honey ingestion

Abstract: Acute hepatitis is characterized by liver inflammation and liver cell necrosis. The most frequently observed underlying cause thereof is viruses, but various other causes, such as alcohol, medication, or toxins may also lead thereto.In this paper, a case of acute hepatitis presenting with bradycardia, hypotension, and a prominent increase in liver enzymes following mad honey ingestion is discussed. Since there are only few cases of acute hepatitis following mad honey ingestion in the literature, we want to pre… Show more

“…5 These toxic components block voltage-gated sodium channels. 3,79 By means of this action mechanism, the toxins exhibit a great many effects on the cardiovascular, 8 –14 respiratory, 1,13,15,16 renal, 17,18 liver, 17,19,20 and autonomic/central nervous systems. 16,21,22 Symptoms of GTX/mad honey intoxication are hypotension, bradycardia, nausea, vomiting, sweating, dizziness, impaired consciousness, fainting, blurred vision, and salivation.…”

“…Mad honey causes multiple side and toxic effects associated with GTX content and its consumption. 3,10 13,15,20,23,24,54 –57 Although mechanism of toxic effect of GTX 8,9,58 61 and its some toxic effect have been revealed in humans 3,10 13,15,20,23,24,54 –57 and animals, 17,19,62 data on the effects of oxidative stress of mad honey or GTX 18,19 are limited. No previous studies on chemical metabolizing enzyme and genotoxic effects of mad honey or GTX have been found.…”

“…Honey has been used for centuries as a source of nutrition and topical wound treatment with no reports of adverse effects from the majority of varieties. Gastrointestinal upset and a case of hepatitis [ 170 ] has been reported following consumption of honey derived from Rhododendron flowers, colloquially known as “mad honey”, however, such incidences are rare and restricted to specific sources. Recently, the safety of honey as a medicinal agent has been demonstrated in a study conducted by Fernandez-Cabezudo et al [ 35 ].…”

“…Literatürde DB'nin ve GTX'in karaciğer üzerinde olumsuz etkileri olduğunu rapor eden klinik ve deneysel çalışmalar mevcuttur. Örneğin klinik çalışmalarda DB tüketimine bağlı bir hepatoksisite olgusu (4) ve akut hepatitis olgusu (12) Bir dokunun işlevini düzgün bir şekilde yerine getirebilmesi yapısı ile ilişkili olduğundan, karaciğer dokusunda meydana gelen yapısal değişiklikler önemli fonksiyonel bozukluklara neden olabilir. Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spektroskopisi hücrelerdeki yapısal değişiklikleri dokuların zarar görmeden incelenmesine olanak sağlayan biyolojik sistemler için uygun bir tekniktir.…”

“…Protein miktarındaki bu artış sistemdeki protein sentezindeki bir artıştan kaynaklanıyor olabilir. Literatürde DB zehirlenmesinden sonra aspartat aminotransferaz ve alanin aminotransferaz gibi karaciğer enzimlerinde artış gözlendiğini rapor eden çalışmalar mevcuttur (4,12,27) (46).…”
