In countries where the consumption of mushrooms is common, hundreds of mushroom poisonings occur every year, which represents a public health problem. In Mexico, mushroom poisoning is classified as a non-bacterial gastrointestinal poisoning, which prevents timely care.
To create a free-access platform that synthesizes and standardizes the information on mycetism cases and offers tools for diagnosis and timely treatment.
In locations where cases of mycetism have occurred, information was obtained on the fungi involved, the poisonings that occurred, care protocols, and sample processing.
Records were generated that synthesize and describe the types of mycetism with the highest probability of occurrence in Mexico. Therein, the biological characteristics of fungi, the symptoms they cause and their treatment are described. A protocol proposal for patient care and for the processing of biological samples is presented. Finally, a form is included to collect information on cases of poisoning.
Systematized and analyzed information on mycetism allows to simplify its diagnosis, attention and treatment. The protocols for clinical care and sample processing are the basis for generating strategies that prevent deaths due to mycetism.
在蘑菇消费普遍的国家，每年都会发生数百起蘑菇中毒事件，这是一个公共卫生问题。在墨西哥，蘑菇中毒被归类为非细菌性胃肠道中毒，这阻碍了及时的治疗。
创建一个免费访问的平台，综合和规范有关蕈类中毒病例的信息，并提供诊断和及时治疗的工具。
在发生蕈类中毒的地方，获取有关涉及的真菌、发生的中毒、护理方案和样本处理的信息。
生成了记录，综合并描述了在墨西哥最有可能发生的蕈类中毒类型。其中描述了真菌的生物学特性、它们引起的症状及其治疗方法。提出了一份关于患者护理和生物样本处理的方案建议。最后，还包括了一个收集中毒病例信息的表格。
对蕈类中毒信息进行系统和分析，可以简化其诊断、治疗和处理。临床护理和样本处理的方案是制定策略的基础，这些策略可以预防因蕈类中毒导致的死亡。
