台湾のHsien-Yi Chen博士より2024 IC-CATへのメッセージが届きました！

Dear IC-CAT participants,

Plants are ubiquitous in our surroundings, and plant poisoning represents one of the major types of poisoning reported to Poison Control Centers worldwide. While most cases are not severely intoxicated, instances of significant toxicity and even mortality resulting from accidental and intentional plant ingestion have been occasionally reported.

I am extremely delighted and honored to have been invited to join and participate in "The 2024 International Congress of Clinical & Analytical Toxicology in Japan." During the conference, I will be discussing the common plant poisonings encountered within the Emergency Department in Taiwan and sharing some interesting cases. I look forward to exchanging valuable knowledge with all of you.
