TY - JOUR PY - 2014// TI - Amanita muscaria and Amanita pantherina poisoning: two syndromes JO - Toxicon: Journal of the International Society on Toxinology A1 - Vendramin, Andreja A1 - Brvar, Miran SP - 269 EP - 272 VL - 90 IS - N2 - A. muscaria contains more excitatory ibotenic acid and less depressant muscimol compared to A. pantherina. In this study A. muscaria poisoned patients were more often confused (26/32, p=0.01) and agitated (20/32, p=0.03) compared to those poisoned with A. pantherina (8/17 and 5/17). Patients poisoned with A. pantherina were more commonly comatose (5/17) compared to those poisoned with A. muscaria (2/32) (p=0.03). In conclusion, the so-called ibotenic or pantherina-muscaria syndrome might be divided into two subtypes.
