Ciguatera is a form of poisoning that occurs after eating tropical and subtropical ciguatoxic fish. The ciguatoxins are a family of heat stable, lipid soluble cyclic polyether compounds that bind to and open voltage-sensitive Na+channels at resting membrane potential, resulting in neural hyperexcitability, as well as swelling of the nodes of Ranvier ...

A traveler who vacationed in the Bahama islands became ill from ciguatera toxin, a poisoning acquired from ingestion of certain fish caught in tropical waters. The mild gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms of this poisoning lasted only a few hours, but the neurologic symptoms persisted for several weeks until medical care was eventually sought far from the ...

Variations in symptomatology of Ciguatera poisoning
Toxicon, 1989Ciguatera poisoning reports were examined for patterns of symptomatology when different types of fishes were consumed. Consumption of surgeon fish (Ctenochaetus strigosus), amberjack (Seriola dumerili) and jack (Caranx sp.) resulted in different symptom profiles with a number of statistically significant differences in the reported frequencies of ...

Ciguatera, an ichtyosarcotoxism linked to the consumption of usually healthy coral fish is a common poisoning in the Pacific, Caribbean and Indian Ocean where it is endemic. However, increased tourism and commercial transportation of tropical fish for consumption make it an unexceptional intoxication in countries away from its endemic area ...
