Intoxication aux champignons dans l'Ouest: sept personnes dans un état grave
http://www.orange.fr/bin/frame.cgi?u=htt...etat-grave.html 28/10 12:52 :
Dix personnes dont sept dans un état grave sont hospitalisées au CHU de Rennes après avoir mangé des champignons toxiques ramassés en forêt, a indiqué samedi le centre antipoison du CHU actualisant un bilan diffusé plus tôt dans la matinée.
"Le pronostic vital est dans l'absolu engagé pour les sept", a souligné Alain Baert le responsable du centre anti-poison du CHU de Rennes qui est également le 2e centre de greffe hépatique en France.
Sur les sept ramasseurs de champignons dans un état "sérieux", deux cas sont particulièrement préoccupants et auraient "potentiellement besoin d'une greffe" du foie, a précisé Frédéric Alluard médecin au centre anti-poison de Rennes.
En revanche, trois des dix personnes successivement hospitalisées au cours des deux dernières semaines sont "a priori sorties d'affaires", leur état s'étant amélioré, a-t-il ajouté. La préfecture avait annoncé dix personnes dans un état grave vendredi soir dans cette affaire.
Il s'agit d'intoxications individuelles de ramasseurs de champignons, des adultes originaires de Bretagne, de la région Centre, et des Pays-de-la-Loire, selon la préfecture.
L'intoxication crée des problèmes hépatiques très graves, nécessitant parfois une greffe.
Les champignons en cause sont du type amanite phalloïde ou vireuse, ou lépiotes.
"Il convient de considérer que le risque est potentiel sur l'ensemble de la France, d'autant que les conditions météorologiques seront globalement favorables", aux champignons, selon la préfecture.
Il ne faut "pas ramasser un champignon s'il existe le moindre doute sur son identification", et ne "pas consommer les récoltes qui ne sont pas contrôlées par un spécialiste", a rappelé la préfecture.
La directrice départementale des affaires sanitaires et sociales (DASS) d'Ille-et-Vilaine, Michèle Chaussumier, a mis en garde en particulier "les ramasseurs qui se croient avertis".
Les symptômes, dont le délai d'apparition des signes peut "largement dépasser six heures" en particulier dans les cas graves, sont le plus souvent les nausées, les vomissements, les diarrhées et les douleurs abdominales. Dès leur apparition, il convient de contacter un médecin et de noter les heures des repas en cause.

Poisonous mushrooms leave three seriously ill in France
http://uk.news.yahoo.com/30102006/323/poisonous-mushrooms-leave-three-seriously-ill-france.html
RENNES (AFP) - A French mushroom picker poisoned by a potentially lethal "death cap" fungus has undergone a liver transplant, a hospital in northwestern France said.
The victim, who has not been identified, was one of three patients reported by the hospital in the western city of Rennes to be in a serious condition after eating poisonous mushrooms.
Seven other people were released from hospital after being hospitalized in a less serious condition from eating mushrooms.
The doctors were unable to say, on Saturday afternoon, whether the other two critical patients would need transplants. Their conditions are being closely monitored.
"Three people remain in intensive care," said Alain Baert of the anti-poison unit at the Rennes hospital, France's second-biggest liver transplant centre.
The seven who had left intensive care were making further progress, but were still under observation. "They will need six months to a year to get better," said Frederic Alluard, a doctor at the poison centre.
The local prefecture said the victims were adults who came from the northwestern French region of Brittany, the central region and the Loire region in the west.
Amanita phalloides mushrooms, commonly known as "death caps," can easily be confused with other common species such as parasols. Eating them can cause severe damage to the liver and kidneys, followed by death within five to 10 days.
Other mushroom poisonings occurred in eastern France in August and in Aquitaine earlier this month.
I also hear from a French friend that Lepiota brunneoincarnata played a part in some of these poisonings.

This is why you never eat anything you pick unless you're %100 sure what it is, especially if they have white gills.
