Abstract
A patient presented to our hospital with myocarditis caused by mushroom
poisoning. The early ECG changes in this patient were very similar to
the ECG of hyperacute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STMEI)
or hyperkalemia, but further tests eliminated these options. The patient
was fully treated by timely hemodialysis treatment, confirming the
diagnosis of mushroom poisoning-induced myocarditis.Although not
specific to mushroom poisoning myocarditis, our experience shows that
the observed ECG changes. Our findings have the potential to help
diagnose and manage this potentially fatal disease in the future.
