dc.description.abstractAbstract Background: The clinical diagnosis, which occurs with various symptoms resulting from consuming contaminated food, is defined as food poisoning (FP). A large number of people around the world experience FP each year. This report focuses on the clinical and descriptive characteristics of adult cases visiting the emergency department (ED) due to FP. Methods: This study was planned as a retrospective examination of adult FP cases who visited a tertiary ED in a 4-year period. Complaints, vital signs, physical examination and laboratory data at the time of the visit were recorded. The treatment given for ED and the ways to recover from ED were also evaluated. Results: 61 patients were included. 43 patients (70.5%) were male. Median age was 31 years (min: 18- max: 73). The most common symptom was nausea (n=27, 44.3%). No relationship was detected between length of hospital stay and descriptive data. Most of cases except two (96.7%), were discharged after the treatments administered in the ED. Conclusions: FP cases are often young and male. They most often visit ED with complaints of nausea and are often discharged from ED after treatment. Descriptive data is not predictive of outcomes.
