Abstract |
Hemoperfusion has been used in the treatment of mushroom poisoning for many years. The aim of this study was to study the efficacy of charcoal plasmaperfusion ( CPP) and continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) in 2 patients severely poisoned by the amanita mushroom. Both patients arrived at the ICU from another hospital with a diagnosis of amanita phalloides mushroom poisoning. The patients were precociously treated with CRRT for 20 h and CPP for 3 h every day. The treatments were effected for 3 and 5 days, respectively. Both patients recovered completely and were discharged asyntomatic after 7 and 10 days.
