POMILIO, Alicia Beatriz; BATTISTA, Stella Maris  and  ALONSO, Ángel. Micetismos: Parte 2: Síndromes con sintomatología demorada y latencia muy larga. Acta bioquím. clín. latinoam. [online]. 2019, vol.53, n.1, pp.79-107. ISSN 0325-2957.

Less common mycetisms, characterized by delayed-onset and very long latency times are analyzed. These intoxications are caused by rare ectomycorrhizal fungal species. The following syndromes have been taken into account: (a) Delayed nephrotoxic syndrome. Orellanic mycetism or mycetism due to orellanin. (b) Syndrome with rhabdomyolysis. Mycetisms by Tricholoma equestre, and Tricholoma terreum. (c) Delayed encephalopathic or neurotoxic syndrome. Mycetism by Pleurocybella porrigens. (d) Cardiovascular syndrome. Mycetism by Trogia venenata. The incubation time, symptom characteristics, clinical course, toxins responsible for each mycetism and their mechanism of action, and treatment that has shown to be effective for patient recovery are discussed.

Keywords : Mycetisms; Delayed-onset syndromes; Toxidromes; Cortinarius; Tricholoma; Pleurocybella; Trogia; Toxins; Treatment.
