Epidemiology and clinical aspect of pediatric mushroom poisonings: a 15-year retrospective analysis.
Background: Mushroom poisoning is a significant public health concern, particularly in pediatric populations, where developmental differences in toxin metabolism and organ vulnerability pose unique clinical challenges. Despite its geographic and seasonal patterns, pediatric mushroom poisoning remains underrepresented in the literature, necessitating further investigation into its epidemiological and clinical characteristics.
Methods: This 15-year retrospective cohort study analyzed 73 pediatric cases (aged ≤14 years) of mushroom poisoning at a tertiary hospital in Southwest China. Epidemiological, clinical, and laboratory data were collected, and statistical analyses were performed using SPSS 26.0.
Results: Epidemiological data revealed seasonal clustering in summer and autumn, predominantly affecting older children (≥7 years). Boletus spp. accounted for most cases (71.2%), followed by Amanita (8.2%). Clinical presentations included gastrointestinal (72.6%) and neurotoxic symptoms (69.9%), with hallucinations more prevalent in non-liver injury cases (56.9% vs. 0%, p = 0.02). Severe hepatic injury, marked by elevated liver enzymes (ALT, AST, LDH) and coagulation dysfunction (APTT, PT), correlated with higher HOPE6 scores (≥3) and 100% mortality (4 deaths). The HOPE6 scoring system demonstrated prognostic utility, with a pediatric-specific threshold (≥3) predicting adverse outcomes, contrasting with adult thresholds (≥2).
Conclusions: This study highlights the critical role of hepatic injury in mortality and underscores age-dependent variations in clinical thresholds for risk stratification in pediatric mushroom poisoning. Early intensive care is advocated to improve outcomes. Future research should focus on multicenter prospective cohorts to further validate these findings and assess therapeutic interventions.
期刊介绍:
Frontiers in Pediatrics (Impact Factor 2.33) publishes rigorously peer-reviewed research broadly across the field, from basic to clinical research that meets ongoing challenges in pediatric patient care and child health. Field Chief Editors Arjan Te Pas at Leiden University and Michael L. Moritz at the Children''s Hospital of Pittsburgh are supported by an outstanding Editorial Board of international experts. This multidisciplinary open-access journal is at the forefront of disseminating and communicating scientific knowledge and impactful discoveries to researchers, academics, clinicians and the public worldwide.
Frontiers in Pediatrics also features Research Topics, Frontiers special theme-focused issues managed by Guest Associate Editors, addressing important areas in pediatrics. In this fashion, Frontiers serves as an outlet to publish the broadest aspects of pediatrics in both basic and clinical research, including high-quality reviews, case reports, editorials and commentaries related to all aspects of pediatrics.
