Abstract:
A 43-year-old man, with no history of cardiac disease, deliberately ingested 4 tablets of a rodenticide containing 12 mg of scilliroside. Vomiting appeared a few minutes later and persisted for 48 hours. At the 20th hour, when he was admitted, EKG revealed a complete atrio-ventricular block which disappeared only on the 4th day. The repolarization abnormalities characteristic of digitalization persisted still further until the 12th day.
