Abstract

Epidemic dropsy (ED) is caused due to intoxication with Argemone mexicana. Here we report a case series of three families, all of whom were residents of Uttar Pradesh, India, who presented in August 2013 with all the classical features of ED. We aim to highlight the importance of this malady even though the sale of unbottled mustard oil is illegal in India.
