摘要
To investigate the role of histamine [which is postulated to result from bacterial action on free histidine in muscle of scombroid fish] as a caustive factor in scombroid poisoning, 4 subjects received grapefruit juice with or without graded doses of histamine in a randomized double-blind fashion for 10 days. Subjects (8) received tuna sandwiches with or without histamine in the same manner. Clinical symptoms and vital signs were recorded daily. Histaminase activity was measured in plasma eosinophils and serum. Although vital signs and histaminase activity showed no consistent pattern of change at any histamine dose, characteristic symptoms of scombroid poisoning (severe headaches and facial flushing) were noted at the 100-, 150- and 180-mg doses of histamine. Histamine may be responsible for the symptoms seen in scombroid poisoning.
