Abstract

Data are reported on the observation and treatment of 111 patients with mushroom poisoning. In 36% the poisoning was of severe and average severe degrees. Nine patients (8.9%) died. The main cause of death was hepatic failure. Attention is paid to the prognostic significance of low values of the prothrombin index for determination of the severity grade of liver involvement and outcome of the disease as well as incongruity in several cases between the blood bilirubin level, transaminases and severity of the patients' condition. It is emphasized that mushroom poisoning may be characterized by polyorganic insufficiency but in the absolute majority of cases hyperazotemia may have a productive and not a retention character and is not related to renal function decompensation.
