The pathogenic gastropod was Nassauris glans, which had not been previously mentioned in human tetrodotoxication. An extremely high level of tetrodotoxin was found in the causative gastropods, and a variety of clinical signs were observed in the survivors. The postmortem autopsy of two patients showed severe distension and hypersecretion of the alimentary tract, suggestive of a cholinergic crisis as the cause of their early death. A recognition of education regarding the risk of tetrodotoxication by N. glans in the study area is important to prevent further tragedy. A retrospective review of the tetrodotoxication in this region may aid in understanding the changes and route of tetrodotoxication in marine products, and provide valuable information for preventive measures. |
