Fatal intoxication due to brucine.

abstract：:In June 1986, an epidemic of poisoning occurred in Sierra Leone, West Africa; it involved 49 persons--with 14 deaths. Our laboratory's approach and investigation of this incident is described. Using positive chemical ionization mass spectrometry and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, the toxicant was identified ...
