Prevalence of 3,4-Methylenedioxy-α-Pyrrolidinohexanophenone (3,4-MDPHP) in 465 Suspected Intoxication Cases and Cross-Reactivity Evaluation in an Ecstasy Immunoassay
This study confirms the high prevalence (108/465) of 3,4-MDPHP in NPS related intoxication cases in our cohort. It is essential for clinical laboratories and emergency departments to be aware of the potential cross-reactivity in ecstasy immunoassay, as this may lead to significant diagnostic errors and misinterpretation of results.
