  • Changing Pattern of Epidemic Dropsy in North India
    Epidemic Dropsy in North India N. Sharma et al. ORIGINAL ARTICLE Changing Pattern of Epidemic Dropsy in North India NAVNEET SHARMA1,*, NAINA MOHAN 2, ASHISH BHALLA1, AMAN SHARMA1, SURJIT SINGH 1 1 The Department of Internal Medicine, Postgraduate Institute of Medical Education and Research, Chandigarh, India 2 King's College London, Strand, London, United Kingdom Abstract Background: Epidemic dropsy occurs due to ingestion of mustard oil contaminated with oil from Argemone mexicana, leading to edema and tenderness of the abdomen, upper and lower limbs. In this study, clinical profiles of patients presented with epidemic dropsy in north India are described. Methods: This was a prospective study of patients presented with epidemic dropsy to the emergency department of Nehru Hospital, during the period from March 2004 to December 2011. Inclusion criteria were patients presenting with tender bilateral pitting leg edema and dermal telangiectasia. Clinical and laboratory data of patients were entered into case record forms at the time of presentation until discharge from the hospital. Results: Leg edema was the principal symptom in our series, and was in concurrence with current literature. Erythema has only been reported in 35-82% of published series, though it was present in all of our patients. Similarly, features such as diarrhea, hepatomegaly and anemia were more frequent in our cases compared to the literature. Furthermore, pancytopenia which was documented on peripheral blood counts in 54% of our cases has never been reported before. Conclusion: Epidemic dropsy should be considered in patients presenting with progressive erythema, edema, and tenderness of the limbs who had a history of consumption of mustard oil and confirmation of Argemone oil contamination according to laboratory tests.

    Annals of R.S.C.B., ISSN:1583-6258, Vol. 25, Issue 3, 2021, Pages. 1615 - 1641 Received 16 February 2021; Accepted 08 March 2021. Medicinal Property and Ethnopharmacological Activities of Argemone mexicana: An Overview Ranjana Pathak, Anjana Goel* and S. C. Tripathi Department of Biotechnology, GLA University, Mathura, Uttar Pradesh – 281406, India. *Corresponding author: Tel.: +9897006326 Email address: [email protected] ABSTRACT Argemone mexicana (Mexican poppy), commonly known as “Satyanasi orBhatkatiya” in India, is a valuable medicinal plant and considered to have miraculous therapeutic potential.It is used to cure several diseases in the Indian traditional medicine system of Ayurveda for over 5000 years. Its leaves, stem, latex, roots and seeds have several pharmacological activities.Many of the bioactive compounds obtained from the Argemone seeds are especially effective in the treatment of chronic diarrhea, dysentery, peptic ulcers, as well as respiratory infections. Scientific studies have validated numerous medicinal applications of Argemone mexicana, which include analgesic, antispasmodic, depurative, emetic, antipyretic, emmenagogue, sedative, vulnerary, healing dermatological problems etc. However, its medicinal property is not much highlighted due to a popular misconception that this plant is poisonous andcauses epidemic dropsy, with symptoms including extreme swelling, particularly of the legs, but this is what after the adulteration process of edible oils. The present overview deals with the general and ethnopharmacological profile of Argemone mexicana, emphasizing its medicinal property against various human ailments along with other current uses, which has been reviewed from literature up to January, 2020 and enlists 109 references. Keywords: Traditional medicine, Mexican poppy, Ethnopharmacology, Antimicrobial, Antiulcer activity. Fig.

  • Epidemic Dropsy
    THE NATIONAL MEDICAL JOURNAL OF INDIA VOL. 11, No.5, 1998 207 Epidemic Dropsy Argemone mexicana L. (Papaveraceae), a native plant of the West Indies, has been naturalized in India. It grows widely and is popularly known as satyanashI (shaIlkanta in Bengal, bharbhanda in Uttar Pradesh). Its seeds are black in colour and similar to the dark-coloured mustard seeds (Brassica nigra) in shape and size. While adultera- tion of argemone seeds in light yellow-co loured mustard seeds (Brassica compestris) can be easily detected, it is difficult to detect when mixed with black-coloured mus- tard seeds. Accidental admixture of argemone seeds with those of mustard, growing in the same field, does not occur as the harvesting time of mustard (February-March) and argemone (May-June) is different. Argemone seeds are rich in oil (30%-35 %) whose colour is similar to that of mustard oil. Consumption of mustard oil contaminated with argemone seed oil is known to cause epidemic dropsy. 1,2 Argemone poisoning was first reported from Calcutta in 1877. Since then, several outbreaks have occurred in different states of India as well as in Mauritius, Fiji Islands and South Africa. Except for the South African epidemic which occurred because of consumption of wheat flour adulterated with argemone seeds, all the other outbreaks were related to the intake of mustard oil contaminated with argemone oil. 3 Usually, epidemics in India have been reported between July and September. The recent epidemic (1998) in Delhi and other states, which also started in August, is possibly the largest in India so far.
