A fatal poisoning from an amatoxin containing Lepiota

Mycopathologia, 1986
The mushroom Lepiota josserandii Bon and Boif. has been identified as the cause of an unintentional, fatal intoxication in New York. The course of the symptoms, beginning with a 9 h latent period, was similar to what would be expected in a case of Amanita phalloides-type intoxication.

Indication of liver transplantation following amatoxin intoxication

Journal of Hepatology, 2005
Indication of liver transplantation in acute liver failure following amatoxin intoxication is still uncertain.One hundred and ninety-eight patients were studied retrospectively. The laboratory parameters alanine-aminotransferase, serum bilirubin, serum creatinine and prothrombin index were analyzed over time.

[Emergence of amatoxin poisoning in the Netherlands].

Nederlands tijdschrift voor geneeskunde, 2021
A 34-year-old woman from Thai origin developed acute liver failure after ingestion of a soup which contained the death cap (Amanita phalloides).In patients with poisoning due to amatoxin-containing mushrooms, gastro-intestinal complaints usually develop several hours after ingestion, followed by acute hepatic failure which occasionally leads to death ...

Treatment of Amatoxin Poisoning: 20-Year Retrospective Analysis

Journal of Toxicology: Clinical Toxicology, 2002
Amatoxin poisoning is a medical emergency characterized by a long incubation time lag, gastrointestinal and hepatotoxic phases, coma, and death. This mushroom intoxication is ascribed to 35 amatoxin-containing species belonging to three genera: Amanita, Galerina, and Lepiota.

Le syndrome phalloïdien est le toxidrome mycotoxique survenant après l’ingestion de certaines espèces macromycètes, des genres Amanita, Lepiota et Galerina. Amanita phalloides l’espèce la plus souvent en cause, responsable 90 % décès dus à consommation champignons. L’α-amanitine plupart effets observés.

Toadstools Accumulating Amatoxins

1986
Most of the fatal intoxications by mushrooms occur after ingestion of the Amanita species. The amatoxins, cyclic peptides solely responsible for those cases, have also been detected in Galerina and Lepiota species, which, although seldom, have been consumed with fatal consequences. A recent review has been published by Besl et al. (1984). The hazardous

Kinetics of amatoxins in human poisoning: Therapeutic implications

Journal of Toxicology: Clinical Toxicology, 1993
The kinetics of alpha and beta amanitin were studied in 45 patients intoxicated with Amanita Phalloides. The amatoxins were analyzed by high performance liquid chromatography in plasma (43 cases), urine (35 cases), gastroduodenal fluid (12 cases), feces (12 cases) and tissues (4 cases).

Structure‐toxicity relationships in the amatoxin series

International Journal of Peptide and Protein Research, 1992
The amatoxins, highly toxic components of death cap Amanita mushrooms, bind strongly to RNA polymerase II (or B) in cell nuclei thus preventing the transcription of DNAs to hn‐RNAs (Pre‐mRNAs), the precursors of messenger RNAs. Three of the binding sites of the bicyclic octapeptides have been identified: an isoleucine side chain in position 6, a trans ...

[Amatoxins and mushroom poisoning].

Die Naturwissenschaften, 1980
Amatoxins are the sole cause of human Amanita poisoning, inhibition of transcription eventually leading to cell necrosis. The toxins are easily excreted into the bile fluid, a fact which postulates the interruption of the enterohepatic circulation. All therapeutic means should be applied in order to decrease the serum concentration of the toxins as ...
