 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 6 Mass ciguatera fish poisoning in clinical research Keywords:: ‘tiger grouper’ fish; poisoning; ciguatoxin Abstract: Objective To investigate the ‘tiger grouper’ fish poisoning, the clinical features and electrophysiological changes of nerve. Methods 63 cases due to consumption of ‘tiger grouper’ fish poisoning, the clinical features of 63 cases of poisoning were measured in patients and 60 normal subjects (control group) of the median nerve and tibial nerve conduction velocity of nerve. The results of eating toxic fish, 0.5 ~ 24h, after they have been a digestive, cardiovascular and neurological symptoms. 63 cases of patients with paresthesia for 2 weeks or more were: the temperature of which accounted for 54.0% felt perversion, tongue, throat, lips numbness weeks 33.3% of limbs, muscle paresthesia accounted for 65.1%, skin itching, a sense of ants crawling accounted for 61.9%, visual abnormalities accounted for 14.3%. Neural electrophysiological testing showed: median nerve in the early (2 weeks) and sensory nerve conduction velocity (SCV) anomaly detection rate was 36.5%, motor nerve conduction velocity (MCV) anomaly detection rate of 11.1%, tibial nerve in the early The SCV anomaly detection rate 60.3%, MCV anomaly detection rate was 14.3%, while no obvious abnormalities in the trigeminal nerve SCV. Conclusion ‘tiger grouper’ fish poisoning, the clinical manifestations in gastrointestinal, cardiovascular, neurological three major systems, continuing a long time can cause nerve paresthesia, and to the temperature the most characteristic sense of perversity, its peripheral nerve injury mainly in the distal limb , and the emphasis on upper limb lower limb, without signs of cranial nerve damage.

Abstract: Objective To explore the clinical feature in patients with tiger spot fish poisoning. Methods
