Resumo

Following ingestion of 30 mg of presumed benztropine (Cogentin) a 39-year-old male developed nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. His admission to hospital was soon followed by collapse and death. Histological examination, however, revealed increased numbers of mitotic figures in otherwise normal epithelial cells of the esophagus and bronchioles, a feature characteristic of colchicine toxicity. Subsequent toxicological analyses confirmed the presence of colchicine in the urine, but not in the blood. A dispensing error had resulted in substitution of colchicine for Cogentin. Histological findings had, therefore, provided evidence of colchicine toxicity and had guided subsequent toxicological evaluation. In suspected cases of colchicine toxicity, histological samples should, therefore, be taken from multiple sites along the gastrointestinal and respiratory tract in addition to other organs and tissues so that diagnostic morphological changes can be looked for.
