TY - JOUR PY - 1997// TI - Colchicine poisoning: report of a fatal case and presentation of an HPLC procedure for body fluid and tissue analyses JO - Journal of analytical toxicology A1 - Kintz, P. A1 - Jamey, C. A1 - Tracqui, A. A1 - Mangin, P. SP - 70 EP - 72 VL - 21 IS - 1 N2 - A case involving a suicidal overdose resulting from the ingestion of colchicine tablets is presented. The drug was quantitated using liquid chromatography. The femoral blood level was 62 ng/mL, and the maximum concentration found in bile was 2921 ng/mL. Therefore, bile appears to be the sample of choice for toxicological analysis when a poisoning case involving colchicine is suspected.
