Symptoms of opium poisoning are all EXCEPT:
Correct Answer: Diarrhea
Description: Diarrhea REF: Medical toxicology by Richard C. Da Page 770, Textbook of Forensic Medicine and Toxicology by Nagesh Kumar Rao - Page 397 Opioid toxicity: Opiate toxicity should be suspected when the clinical triad of CNS depression, respiratory depression, and pupillary miosis are present. Drowsiness, Conjunctival injection, and euphoria are seen frequently. Ventricular arrhythmias, acute mental status changes, and seizures. Both bradypnea and hypopnea are observed. Mild peripheral vasodilation may occur and result in ohostatic hypotension. Opioids prolong GI transit times (constipation not diarrhea), possibly causing delayed and prolonged absorption. Nightmares, anxiety, agitation, euphoria, dysphoria, depression, paranoia, and hallucinations are encountered infrequently, mainly with high doses. Pruritus, flushed skin, and uicaria may arise because of histamine release.
