Abstract
Article AbstractBecause this piece does not have an abstract, we have provided for your benefit the first 3 sentences of the full text.To the Editor: In their case report "Bath Salts-Induced Psychosis and Serotonin Toxicity," Joksovic et al provide a detailed description of a case of intoxication delirium associated with use of synthetic cathinones, or "bath salts," a popular substitute for stimulant drugs. The illustrated toxidrome has been described in a subset of recreational users of these substances, presenting as both a medical and a psychiatric emergency.While the primary substance reported with cases of cathinone-related reactions in the European literature has been mephedrone (4-methylmethcathinone), all cases reported in the United States in which laboratory confirmation has been obtained have identified the cathinone derivative involved as methylenedioxypyrovalerone (MDPV).
