A total of 48 samples of maize-based gruels, used as weaning food for children, were taken daily from hospital meals and from patients' mothers while their children were on admission at the Wesley Guild Hospital, Ilesha, Nigeria. These samples were analysed for aflatoxins and ochratoxin A. Twelve samples (25%) were positive for aflatoxins (concentration range 2-19,716 pg/g) but only four (8%) were positive for ochratoxin (concentration range 142-6516 pg/g). In the majority, the concentrations were relatively low, only two having aflatoxin and one ochratoxin A levels greater than 1000 pg/g. It is concluded that, unlike aflatoxin, ochratoxin A contamination is unlikely to present a major health hazard to the newly weaned child in this area of Nigeria.
在尼日利亚伊莱沙的卫斯理公会医院，每天从医院膳食以及患儿入院时患儿母亲提供的以玉米为基础的粥类食品中采集共计48份样本，这些粥类用作儿童断奶食品。对这些样本进行黄曲霉毒素和赭曲霉毒素A分析。12份样本（25%）黄曲霉毒素呈阳性（浓度范围为2 - 19,716 pg/g），但只有4份（8%）赭曲霉毒素呈阳性（浓度范围为142 - 6516 pg/g）。大多数情况下，浓度相对较低，只有两份黄曲霉毒素和一份赭曲霉毒素A水平高于1000 pg/g。得出的结论是，与黄曲霉毒素不同，赭曲霉毒素A污染不太可能对尼日利亚该地区刚断奶的儿童构成重大健康危害。
