RESUMO

Serious complications of drug abuse are frequently seen in acute care. When the clinical signs and symptoms of drug use are discordant with the expected clinical features of the intended substance used, it may involve misleading, contaminated and therefore dangerous illicit drugs. In 2014 and 2015, multiple young patients presented to several Dutch emergency departments in Amsterdam with an opioid toxidrome after supposed use of cocaine. However, it required months and multiple patient presentations, including fatalities, to discover that heroin was sold as cocaine, resulting in serious opioid toxidrome complications. The improvement and formalization of local collaboration and the instatement of an accessible central coordinating party enables early pattern recognition, treatment, sample testing and prevention of future cases of serious drug complications. This was demonstrated in a case of accidental fentanyl intoxication after alleged cocaine use in 2018. Extension of such collaborative networks to create a national coverage is desirable.
