Os A.A. apresentam um caso de hiponatremia grave (101 mmol/l) numa mulher de 71 anos de idade, que teve como apresentação clínica inicial um quadro de convulsões tónico-clónicas generalizadas e coma, que surgiu após três dias de vómitos de intensidade moderada, acompanhados pela ingestão exclusiva de “chás”. Na realização da história clínica, apurou-se consumo abusivo de produtos homeopáticos com acção diurética e natriurética que, juntamente com uma habitual alimentação com baixo teor de sódio, se pensa poder ter tido responsabilidade na etiopatogenia desta situação. Com a publicação deste caso clínico, os autores pretendem realçar os potenciais riscos do consumo de produtos homeopáticos, frequente na população portuguesa, e, consequentemente, a importância do conhecimento dos seus efeitos, já que podem estar implicados em patologia com que contactamos diariamente.
The A.A. report the case of a 71-year-old female with severe hyponatraemia (101mmol/l), whose first clinical presentation was of convulsionsconvulsions and coma. This occurred after three days of vomiting and exclusive tea ingestion. While taking the patient’s history, it emerged that several diuretic and natriuretic homeopathic products had been consumed. This, together with a poor sodium diet, is thought to have been largely responsible for the aetiopathogenesis of the clinical case reported. With the publication of this case, the authors would like to underline the potential risks involved in the consumption of homeopathic products and consequently the importance of knowing their effects, as these products can cause serious illness.
