中药大多数来源于植物类药材,确实有毒的品种不多,若能正确应用,是比较安全的。但含有毒性较强的中药,如用之不当,也可危及生命。近年来,中药中毒死亡的报道明显增多,值得警惕。我们搜集近36年来有关单味植物药中毒致死的文献资料,就毒理机制、中毒表现及死亡原因进行分析探讨,以引起人们的重视。 Most of the traditional Chinese medicines originate from plant herbs. There are not many toxic species. If they can be applied correctly, they are safer. However, the more toxic Chinese medicines, if not properly used, can also be life-threatening. In recent years, there has been a noticeable increase in reports of deaths from Chinese medicine poisoning, which warrants vigilance. We have collected literature on the deaths caused by single-plant poisoning in the past 36 years and analyzed the toxicological mechanism, poisoning performance, and cause of death to draw attention.
