title: [Incidence and current treatment of cytotoxic cyclopeptide (phalloidine) poisoning in pregnant women].
abstract: The authors treated successfully a patient who ingested along with three members of the family the mushroom Amanita phalloides and was in the 24th week of gestation. She gave birth to a healthy infant. The authors discuss the incidence and contemporary treatment of cytotoxic, cyclopeptide (phalloid, hepatotoxic) intoxications, incl. those with Amanita phalloides during pregnancy. They present case-histories and an account on amatoxin intoxications in pregnant women published so far in the literature, and experience with the treatment of a 18-year-old pregnant woman. They reflect whether termination of pregnancy is indicated in pregnant women intoxicated with Amanita phalloides.
