摘要
In Colombia (South America) during recent decades the administration of scopolamine, extracted from plants belonging to the Datura or Brugmansia genus, has become an important neurologic and toxicologic phenomenon. These extracts have been popularly known as Burundanga."1 1 The word "Burundanga" has an African origin. It appeared in a very popular Afro-Cuban song during the 1950's. This word has not been incorporated into the Spanish language even in the Caribbean area. We do not know the reason for selecting this particular word to name some Datura extracts. Chemical characteristics and clinical features of scopolamine intoxication are described. Anterograde amnesia and submissive behavior found in patients intoxicated with scopolamine are analyzed. Burundanga intoxication is related to other toxic phenomena found in different countries and similitudes with transient global amnesia are emphasized. © 1991."
