title: Temporary left ventricular dysfunction in mushroom poisoning: report of three cases.
abstract: Mushroom poisoning can result in acute kidney injury and fulminant hepatic failure as well as gastrointestinal and neurological disorders. The effects of mushroom poisoning on cardiac functions have not been known well. Only a few case reports have been published to date (1-3). We report 3 patients out of 45 patients who were followed due to acute kidney injury and hepatic injury secondary to naturally growing mushroom ingestion between 2009 and 2012. These three cases suffered from transient impairment in cardiac systolic function in addition to other manifestations of mushroom poisoning.
