AbstractTaxines are the active, poisonous constituents in yew plants (Taxus spp.) and can result in life-threatening cardiac toxicity. Rapid elimination of yew plant material and administration of active charcoal can limit absorption of toxins. Treatment is confined to supportive care. Therapeutic interventions such as utilization of digoxin immune fab, hemodialysis and temporary cardiac pacing may be utilized. Extracorporeal life support should be considered for severe cases.Thieme. All rights reserved.
