Early detection of amatoxins in human mushroom poisoning.
Amatoxins were detected radioimmunologically as early as 90-120 min after ingestion in the gastric fluid and urine of a 15-year-old boy who tried to commit suicide by ingestion of wild mushrooms. This early detection of amatoxins in the urine is proof of rapid absorption from the intestinal tract and subsequent excretion by the kidneys in man.
