Abstract:
We present the case of a married couple intoxicated by mushrooms of the Amanita genus, developing acute toxic hepatitis. The man progressed to severe hepatitis with coagulopathy, requiring Intensive Care Unit admission and plasmapheresis, while the woman had a favorable evolution. Both received treatment with N-acetylcysteine and silymarin, resolving the condition without the need for a transplant. Early diagnosis of this condition and appropriate management are essential to prevent fatal outcomes.
