title: [Phalloidine intoxication. Results of various forms of treatment in 47 patients].
abstract: The effectiveness of three plasma cleansing techniques (exchange transfusion, peritoneal dialysis and plasmapheresis) is studied in the treatment of phalloides intoxication. The severity of the latter is dependent upon the amount of toxin ingested, with can now be measured by radio-immunology, as well as the fixation of the toxin in the liver. Methods to ensure its elimination must be instituted as soon as possible. Thus in 43 patients who had consumed more than 50 g of fresh fungi, there were no deaths amongst those treated during the first 36 hours and 7 deaths out of 22 patients treated late. It is not yet possible to define the respective values of each method.
