Third Liver Transplant Performed After Mushroom Poisoning in Germany

Four patients, including three children, are being treated for severe mushroom poisoning, with three requiring liver transplants.

Three children and one adult are hospitalized in Essen due to severe poisoning from consuming death cap mushrooms.
A third liver transplant has been successfully performed on a child, following two previous transplants for other patients.
One child, a five-year-old boy, shows signs of liver self-regeneration, avoiding the need for a transplant.
The adult patient is the father of one of the affected children, and all patients are currently in stable condition.
In Münster, a woman is critically ill from mushroom poisoning and is in urgent need of a liver transplant.
