Toxidrome
Syndrome caused by a dangerous level of a toxin
Toxidrome
A toxidrome (a portmanteau of toxic and syndrome, coined in 1970 by Mofenson and Greensher) is a syndrome caused by a dangerous level of a toxin in the body. It is often the consequence of a drug overdose. Common symptoms include dizziness, disorientation, nausea, vomiting and oscillopsia. It may indicate a medical emergency requiring treatment at a poison control center. Aside from poisoning, a systemic infection may also lead to one. Classic toxidromes may be variable or obscured by co-ingestion of multiple drugs. A common tool for assessing for the presence of toxidrome in the United Kingdom is the CRESS tool.
