[Manchincel poisoning complicated by streptococcal pharyngitis and impetigo].
A Danish tourist to Antigua in the West Indies, ate a fruit of Hippomane mancinella and developed acute poisoning with blistering of the oral mucosa and diarrhoea and a streptococcal superinfection. Ignorant tourists and their travel advisers are warned against this potentially deadly apple-tree-like plant and its tempting fruits.
