“…Mushroom poisoning, termed mycetism or mycetismus, most commonly ensues after mushrooms are foraged, misidentified and then consumed [1,7,[9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20]. The incidence of ingesting wild, toxic mushrooms is increasingly reported [8,21,22].…”

“…This section focuses on amatoxin. Amatoxin-containing mushrooms cause the vast majority of fatalities from mycetism [6,9,29,34,38,[83][84][85]. A. phalloides (Death Cap), A. bisporigera, A. rubescens, A. ocreata, A. verna, and Amanita virosa (the last three are referred to as Death Angels and Destroying Angels; however, A. phalloides is also sometimes referred to as Death Angel and A. verna is sometimes referred to as White Death Cap), A. fuliginea, A. subjunquillea, A. exitialis, A. suballiacea, A. tenuifolia, A. hygroscopica as well as some Galerina and Lepiota (e.g., L. brunneoincarnata and L. helveola) species contain amatoxin.…”

Approximately 100 of the known species of mushrooms are poisonous to humans. New toxic mushroom species continue to be identified. Some species initially classified as edible are later reclassified as toxic. This results in a continually expanding list of toxic mushrooms. As new toxic species are identified, some classic teachings about mycetism no longer hold true. As more toxic mushrooms are identified and more toxic syndromes are reported, older classification systems fail to effectively accommodate mycetism. This review provides an update of myscetism and classifies mushroom poisonings by the primary organ system affected, permitting expansion, as new, toxic mushroom species are discovered.

We analyzed the data on the seasonal variation, demographic characteristics and symptoms of the cases. Results: Six hundred and forty-eight patients were reported to emergency department, where 60% of them were female. Mean age of female and male were 39.7 ± 18.7 and 41.3 ± 19.4 years, respectively. Most of the poisonings occurred in autumn (51.4%). Abdominal pain was the most common sign (44.4%) followed by diarrhea (30.6%), nausea (9.3%), anorexia (9.3%), vomiting (5.6%) and weakness (0.9%). Conclusion: Mushroom poisoning still remains as an important public health problem. Mushroom poisoning in Bolu and around were mostly diagnosed in patients younger than 40 years and in autumn. Most of the patients recovered without any problems. Anahtar Kelimeler: Acil servis, mantar zehirlenmesi, demografik.

“…The review of therapeutic procedures reported on patients intoxicated with amatoxincontaining mushrooms demonstrates a wide variability in medical treatment and overall response rate (Enjalbert et al, 2002;Erguven et al, 2007;Ganzert et al, 2008;Giannini et al, 2007;Kotwica and Czerczak, 2007;Krenova et al, 2007). Thus, evaluation of different therapies of intoxications caused by amatoxin-producing mushrooms seems to be extremely difficult.…”

International audienceFatalities due to mushroom poisonings are increasing worldwide, with high mortality rate resulting from ingestion of amanitin-producing species. Intoxications caused by amanitin-containing mushrooms represent an unresolved problem in clinical toxicology since no specific and fully efficient antidote is available. The objective of this study was a comparative evaluation of benzylpenicillin (BPCN), acetylcysteine (ACC) and silibinin (SIL) as an antidotes in human hepatocytes intoxicated with α-amanitin (α-AMA)

Mushroom poisoning

Abstract: Early diagnosis and treatment in mushroom poisoning can be life saving. Public awareness is very important in prevention of intoxication as well as encouraging early admission to hospitals.
