dc.description.abstractFungal intoxications can lead to a variety of conditions ranging from simple gastroenteritis to severe neurological manifestations, and even fatal liver and kidney failure. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the diagnosis, treatment, prognosis and demographic data of patients admitted to the emergency department due to fungal intoxication. The aim of this study was to conduct a retrospective evaluation of examination findings, laboratory investigations, duration of treatments, hospitalization rates, and mortality rates in patients admitted to our emergency department due to fungal intoxication between October 01, 2017 and October 01, 2018. Of the 40 patients included in the study, 25 (62.5%) were female, with a mean age of 44.83 ± 17.00 years and a range of 18 to 82 years. Nausea and vomiting had the highest frequency (28 patients) among the presenting complaints of the patients. Only 11 (27.5%) patients underwent gastric lavage and decontamination with activated charcoal, whereas 29 (72.5%) patients had no gastric decontamination. The highest frequency of admissions was recorded in November. The highest frequency of patient admissions was between 01:00 and 02:00. It was concluded that there was a low rate of the administration of gastric decontamination in patients admitted to the emergency department, especially those admitted to the ward. In our study, the majority of patients with fungal intoxication had early-onset mild symptoms. Particular attention should be paid to early diagnosis and adherence to appropriate treatment algorithms in emergency departments, particularly in patients presenting with late-onset symptoms that may result in mortality.
