The herb Heliotropium eichwaldii, taken by three patients, was found to contain the toxic pyrrolizidine alkaloid, heliotrine. Two patients presented with fulminant hepatic failure while the other four patients had a clinical picture suggestive of decompensated cirrhosis. The medical use of this herb may possibly be responsible for a significant proportion of acute and chronic liver disease in India, making it of public health importance.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1136\/pgmj.54.634.511","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2008,12,29]],"date-time":"2008-12-29T15:39:26Z","timestamp":1230565166000},"page":"511-515","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":44,"title":["Herbal medicines and veno-occlusive disease in India"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"54","author":[{"given":"D V","family":"Datta","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Hepatic Diseases, Postgraduate Institute of Medical Education and Research , Chandigarh-160012, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"M S","family":"Khuroo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Hepatic Diseases, Postgraduate Institute of Medical Education and Research , Chandigarh-160012, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"A R","family":"Mattocks","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Hepatic Diseases, Postgraduate Institute of Medical Education and Research , Chandigarh-160012, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"B K","family":"Aikat","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Hepatic Diseases, Postgraduate Institute of Medical Education and Research , Chandigarh-160012, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"P N","family":"Chhuttani","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Hepatic Diseases, Postgraduate Institute of Medical Education and Research , Chandigarh-160012, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[1978,8,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"953","article-title":"Morphological features of Indian childhood cirrhosis","volume":"62","author":"AIKAT, B.K.; BHATTACHARYA, T.; WALIA, B.N.S.","year":"1974","unstructured":"AIKAT, B.K., BHATTACHARYA, T. & WALIA, B.N.S.
