| Popis: | It is possible to determine the management and prognosis of mushroom poisoning from the history and initial symptoms with a high degree of confidence. The most important intoxications are those involving Amanita phalloides or other potentially fatal amatoxin-containing mushrooms, which have a latent period of ten to 12 hours before the patient becomes symptomatic. Because aggressive gastroenteric decontamination can reduce the extent of hepatic damage, it is important to attempt to determine during this asymptomatic period whether amatoxin exposure has occurred. Various laboratory methods that might be useful are reviewed. |
