AbstractTwo patients, a 54-year-old man and a 51-year-old woman, presented with abdominal pain, vomiting and diarrhoea; these symptoms developed 9 and 15 hours, respectively, after consumption of soup from mushrooms that they had picked themselves. As a result of these events, a third patient, a 55-year-old woman with diarrhoea who had also eaten the soup, also presented herself. The first patient recognised deathcap or death angel mushrooms (Amanita phalloides) on a photograph. All three patients were treated for amatoxin poisoning with a combination of high-dose penicillin G, silibinin and acetylcysteine intravenously. The poisoning was later confirmed by the results of urinalysis. The patients were discharged in good condition 8 days later.
