TY - JOUR PY - 1984// TI - Mushroom poisoning. Case reports and a review of therapy JO - JAMA journal of the American Medical Association A1 - Hanrahan, J. P. A1 - Gordon, M. A. SP - 1057 EP - 1061 VL - 251 IS - 8 N2 - Four incidents of mushroom poisoning, representing four of the seven established groups of toxic mushrooms, are presented. These case reports illustrate the range of gastrointestinal and neurological symptoms caused by mushroom poisoning and reflect a nationwide increase in reports of serious poisonings in recent years. Severity of poisonings often parallels the time span between consumption and onset of symptoms, with serious poisonings having longer incubation periods. New therapies for amatoxin poisoning may reduce mortality caused by these poisonings.
