Article Synopsis
- Mushroom poisoning, particularly from amatoxin-containing mushrooms, leads to significant health issues like liver damage and delayed gastroenteritis, especially during India's rainy summer months due to the confusion between edible and poisonous varieties.
- * A study conducted in a tertiary care hospital in north-eastern India from 2015 to 2020 analyzed the clinical and biochemical data of 44 patients suffering from mushroom poisoning, highlighting varied symptoms and outcomes.
- * The results showed that a high percentage of patients experienced delayed liver failure, with a notable in-hospital mortality rate of 58% in those cases, indicating the severe nature of such poisonings.
