Abstract

Deadly webcap is a highly toxic mushroom, that is sometimes mistaken for chanterelles. This case report describes a couple admitted to the hospital with severe acute renal failure and gastroenteritis 10 days after ingestion of deadly webcap. As treatment is symptomatic only, both patients developed end-stage renal disease requiring lifelong dialysis or transplantation. Awareness of mushroom poisoning is essential for timely diagnosis and should be considered in the differential diagnosis to prerenal failure caused by viral gastroenteritis.
