Abstract
This is a report of colchicine poisoning in a 24-year-old woman. She developed multiple organ failure and bone marrow suppression after the suicidal ingestion of 50 (1 mg) colchicine tablets. The pancytopenia responded to granulocyte colony-stimulating factor 300 μg on days 4, 5, 6, and 8. Although anticolchicine monoclonal antibody administration is the only specific therapy described, intensive supportive care including granulocyte colony-stimulating factor administration can facilitate recovery from severe colchicine intoxication.
