Abstract

A 59 years old male was presented to our Emergency Department with complaints of multiple episode of vomiting and fresh blood in vomitus, loose stools and reddish coloured urine after consuming some home made bottle gourd juice. Later he was diagnosed as bottle gourd toxicity with a shock which led to MODS. He was aggressively managed with IV fluids, pantoprazole infusion, antibiotics and other supportive medications. He improved and was discharged in a stable condition after 7 days of hospitalization.
Keywords: Bottle Gourd; Bitter Juice; Toxicity; Shock; Multi Organ Dysfunction Syndrome (MODS).
