Abstract

Mushroom poisoning incidents happen infrequently, yet owing to the non-lethal nature of most toxins and the efficacy of timely treatment, fatalities from mushroom poisoning are uncommon, leading to a scarcity of pertinent clinical and pathological data. Here, we reported a case of death caused by the consumption of raw mushrooms, alongside detailed clinical data and multi-organs pathological alterations, which underscored its potential significant reference value in forensic practice. Futhermore, ibotenic acid, a type of mushroom toxin, was detected both in the patient's blood and gastric lavage fluid about 19 h after the consumption of mushrooms, and was successfully quantified at concentrations of 0.381 µg/mL and 0.202 µg/mL, respectively, indicating a relatively significant finding.

致命蘑菇中毒的法医鉴定:1例报告。
蘑菇中毒事件并不常见,但由于大多数毒素的非致死性和及时治疗的有效性,蘑菇中毒导致的死亡并不常见,导致缺乏相关的临床和病理数据。在这里,我们报告了一例因食用生蘑菇而死亡的病例,以及详细的临床数据和多器官病理改变,这强调了其在法医实践中的潜在重要参考价值。此外,在食用蘑菇约19 h后,在患者血液和洗胃液中均检测到蘑菇毒素伊博滕酸,并成功定量,浓度分别为0.381µg/mL和0.202µg/mL,结果比较显著。
