Mushroom poisoning
Keywords:
mushroom poisoning, intoxication, mushrooms, enquiryAbstract
The diversity of toxicity syndromes caused by mushroom ingestion entails, on one hand, a many-sided and flexible approach
to diagnosis that can benefit from any information obtained
from the patients or company, and on the other hand, a need to
identify, in collaboration with mycologists, the causative species.
The known syndromes are systematised and a proposal is made
for the implementation of detailed enquiries that standardise the
information. A model form to serve as starting point for the design of such enquiries is included.
