Atrioventriküler Tam Blok ve Akselere Nodal Ritmin Nadir Bir Nedeni; Deli Bal Zehirlenmesi

Abstract

An unusual type of food poisoning, mad honey intoxication, can be observed in the Black Sea region of  Turkey and various  other  parts of the world.  It can occur after ingestion of grayanotoxin-contaminated honey produced from the nectar of Rhododendron ponticum  and other plant species, chiefly of the Ericaceae and Sapindaceae families. Mad honey  intoxication can result in severe cardiac complications, such as complete atrioventricular block. The diagnosis is generally reached on the basis of the patient's history of honey intake.  In this report, we describe the case of a patient who had mad honey related complete atrioventricular block and accelerate nodal rhythm.
