Mad Honey Disease: A Rare Condition in an Unlikely Locale
Abstract
Conclusion: This case, to the best of our knowledge, represents the first reported incidence of mad honey disease in Qatar, emphasizing the importance of recognizing this rare condition in nonendemic areas. Proper history-taking, particularly with a focus on food and ingestion history, along with a high index of clinical suspicion, is crucial for timely diagnosis and management. While unintentional and accidental overdose and poisoning, as occurred in our case, may happen sporadically, the widespread use and import/export of mad honey necessitates stringent measures and precautions, similar to those adopted by various countries.
