N2  - Poisoning with oleander (Nerium oleander) is rare but serious. The plant contains a cardiotonic heteroside, oleandrine, which can lead to death from cardiac arrest. The authors present the case of an 86-year-old patient who attempted to end her life by ingesting an infusion of oleander leaves. Faced with the appearance of cardiac conduction disorders, hyperkalaemia and a positive determination of digoxin carried out in immunoanalysis (0.7 ng/mL), the patient quickly received treatment with anti-digitalis antibodies in two administrations (40 mg then 80 mg) followed by a favorable clinical outcome in intensive care unit. © 2020 Société Française de Toxicologie Analytique<p /> <p>Language: en</p>
