APIOL POLYNEURITIS: REPORT OF A CASEJAMA, 104
Numerous cases of apiol poisoning have been reported in recent years. In the majority the symptoms were those of polyneuritis or nephritis. Cerebral involvement has been rare. I here report the changes in the brain in a fatal case: History.— E. R., a white woman, aged 20, was admitted to the University of Michigan Hospital in coma, which had developed forty-eight hours previously. Four days prior to admission the patient took seventeen capsules of ergoapiol 1 to induce abortion. The next evening she became nauseated, collapsed and had convulsions. Examination.— The patient was well developed. The lips and mouth were ulcerated and bleeding from continued biting. The breasts were full and firm, and colostrum could be expressed. There were soft systolic murmurs at the apical and pulmonary areas. The abdomen was soft. The introitus vaginae was slightly congested. There was paronychia of the left great toe. The temperature was 104.6
