Abstract

In this unusual case we report the history of two persons who were hospitalized after the ingestion of wild mushrooms identified as Amanita phalloides. The two individuals developed severe symptoms until acute renal failure and liver injury resolved completely due to the rapid diagnosis and the intensive immediate treatment within 24 hours using new methods including hemodialysis and Molecular Adsorbent Recycling System (MARS).
