Nagar, Tripura (W) with history of excessive consumption of Colocasia plant leaves (Locally known as kochu), anorexia and hyper salivation. All other physiological parameters were normal. Blood was collected for haemato-biochemical estimation which revealed normal value of aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine transaminase (ALT), haemoglobin (Hb), packed cell volume (PCV) and total erythrocytic count (TEC). On the basis of history it was supsected to be a case of Colocasia plant leaves poisoning.
