TY - JOUR PY - 2022// TI - A case of ciguatera fish poisoning in South Georgia JO - Curēus A1 - Agrawal, Pankaj A1 - Grab, John 4th SP - e22728 EP - e22728 VL - 14 IS - 2 N2 - Ciguatera fish poisoning (CFP) is a seafood-associated non-infectious condition, caused by Ciguatoxins. It is known to be the most frequently reported cause of seafood-toxin-related illness in the world. CFP can cause a wide range of gastrointestinal, neurological, and cardiovascular symptoms which can last from a few days to a few months. We describe a case of ciguatera fish poisoning (CFP) in South Georgia after ingestion of a fish from the Caribbean Sea. This case report brings the attention of clinicians for early recognition of the condition and appropriate treatment.
