Abstract

Historically, mortality after Amanita mushroom ingestion has ranged from 50% to 90%. Prompt diagnosis is imperative, and aggressive therapeutic measures must be instituted quickly to improve the outcome. We report successful treatment of two cases of A. virosa poisoning by use of combined therapies, including thioctic acid and hemoperfusion.
