abstract="Amanita proxima is one species of white mushroom which can induce poisonings called in France &quot;proximien&quot; syndrome. The clinical feature of &quot;proximien&quot; syndrome is mainly characterized by early digestive troubles, mild hepatic cytolysis and late renal impairment. A cardiac insult has never been reported in such a circumstance. The authors describe herein two cases of white mushroom poisoning occurred in the Mediterranean French coast with a typical clinical feature of &quot;proximien&quot; syndrome plus secondary development of severe cardiac alterations. The outcome was good for the two patients thanks to symptomatic treatment. The cases reported here suggest that A. proxima have a potential severe cardiac toxicity leading to include early and precise cardiac examination in the management of patients poisoned by these mushrooms.<p /> <p>Language: fr</p>",
