Abstract
Chenopodium Ambrosioides is one of the medicinal plants with a widespread consumption in Morocco. We report here a fatal case of an infant with “M’khinza” poisoning admitted in our department with multiple organs failure. It is recommended for the medical personnel to systematically integrate, in their diagnostic approach, the possibility of direct toxicity by a medicinal plant and for people to raise their awareness against the irrational and abusive use of this plant is highly recommended.
