TI  - [Analysis of MDMA and PCP by GC-MS from patients admitted to the critical care 
      medical center].
PG  - 47-52
AB  - In our country, abuse of methamphetamine has increased. Furthermore, dealings of 
      other drugs by using internet have increased. But, the poison cases of 
      3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA) and phencyclidine (PCP) have never been 
      reported in our country. We report an MDMA poison case and a PCP poison case. We 
      could detect MDMA, MDA or PCP by GC-MS from urine and serum of patients admitted 
      to the critical care medical center of Nippon Medical School. Case 1: A 
      23-year-old foreign female was admitted to our hospital because of disturbance of 
      consciousness. Her friend said that she had been found lying on the floor of the 
      bathroom after taking a tablet. The screening test by Triage showed AMP positive. 
      Not methamphetamine but MDMA and MDA were detected from urine and serum of the 
      patient by GC-MS. Case 2: A 27-year-old foreign female was admitted to our 
      hospital because of restlessness and excitement. Her friend said that she had 
      become restless and excited after taking 15-30 tablets of Tylenol. The screening 
      by Triage showed BZO and PCP positive. Not acetaminophen but PCP was detected in 
      the patient's sample by GC-MS. Drug abuse has expanded to Japan over the border. 
      New responses to abuse drugs with respect to medical treatment and drug analyses 
      should be established.
