Ochratoxin A in corn and wheat: Geographical association with endemicnephropathy.

Ninety – two wheat and 51 corn samples from near Slavonski Brod, the area of endemic nephropathy were surveyed for OA contamination. OA was present in 76% of wheat samples and 33% of corn samples at concentrations in the range 0.02 – 160.00 and 0.02 – 40.00 mg/kg, respectively. For wheat, the highest level of OA (38.8+/- 27.2 mg/kg) was in samples from the Slavonski Brod surroundings followed by Osijek (8.7+/-8.3 mg/kg). For corn, OA concentrations were highest (20.0+/-14.8 mg/kg) in samples from the Slavonski Brod surroundings and considerably lower in samples from other regions. These data clearly demonstrate the geographical overlap between endemic nephropathy and OA.
