Mushroom Poisoning
Delayed GI symptoms
Mushrooms that cause delayed GI symptoms include members of theAmanita,Gyromitra,andCortinariusgenera. which causes 95% of mushroom poisoning deaths. Initial gastroenteritis, which may occur 6 to 12 hours after ingestion, can be severe; hypoglycemia can occur. Initial symptoms abate for a few days; then Acute Liver Failure and sometimes renal failure develop. Initial care involves close monitoring for hypoglycemia and possibly repeated doses of activated Amanita smithianamushrooms cause delayed gastroenteritis, usually 6 to 12 hours after ingestion, and acute renal failure (usually within 1 to 2 weeks after ingestion) that often requires dialysis. mushrooms can cause hypoglycemia simultaneously with or shortly after Overview of Gastroenteritis . Other manifestations may include central nervous system toxicity (eg, seizures) and, after a few days, hepatorenal syndrome. Initial care involves close monitoring for hypoglycemia and possibly repeated doses of activated MostCortinariusmushrooms are indigenous to Europe. Gastroenteritis may last for 3 days. Renal failure, with symptoms of flank pain and decreased urine output, may occur 3 to 20 days after ingestion. Renal failure often resolves spontaneously, but dialysis may be required for a brief period if renal function does not improve in 3 to 5 days and chronic renal damage may be permanent.
