Sažetak
An outbreak of mushroom poisonings occurred in Croatia in the autumn of 2022. Published data on human mushroom poisonings in Croatia and surrounding countries are scarce. A retrospective review of suspected mushroom poisonings during autumn of 2022 reported by telephone consultations with the Croatian Poison Control Centre (CPCC) was performed with the aim of identifying the most common poisonous mushrooms and gaining a better understand of the characteristics of mushroom ingestion cases. We received a total of 54 calls: 3.7% children (median age 11.5 years), 55.7% female. In autumn of 2021, there were only 5 cases of mushroom ingestions reported to the CPCC. The majority of exposures (81.4%) occurred in October 2022.
