ABSTRACT
In our country, abuse of methamphetamine has increased. Furthermore, dealings of other drugs by using internet have increased. But, the poison cases of 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA) and phencyclidine (PCP) have never been reported in our country. We report an MDMA poison case and a PCP poison case. We could detect MDMA, MDA or PCP by GC-MS from urine and serum of patients admitted to the critical care medical center of Nippon Medical School. Case 1 A 23-year-old foreign female was admitted to our hospital because of disturbance of consciousness. Her friend said that she had been found lying on the floor of the bathroom after taking a tablet. The screening test by Triage showed AMP positive. Not methamphetamine but MDMA and MDA were detected from urine and serum of the patient by GC-MS. Case 2 A 27-year-old foreign female was admitted to our hospital because of restlessness and excitement. Her friend said that she had become restless and excited after taking 15-30 tablets of Tylenol. The screening by Triage showed BZO and PCP positive. Not acetaminophen but PCP was detected in the patient's sample by GC-MS. Drug abuse has expanded to Japan over the border. New responses to abuse drugs with respect to medical treatment and drug analyses should be established.
